Breaking News Network


The Breaking News Network is an initiative by the Domus Consulting Group to curate real time city and community information using social media sources like Twitter. The emergence of social media applications like Twitter provide instantaneous ways to broadcast and communicate local news and is changing the way the community is digesting information.

The Domus Breaking News Network is a unique “instant” data distribution and marketing platform. Three reasons why the Network is innovative and changing the way web applications are being developed:

  1. Breaking News sites like Breaking San Francisco News curate the best Twitter feeds in a city. They filter the Twitter experience so you’re not seeing the noise.
  2. The Breaking News Network is grass roots application design. Each city site is owned and managed by civic groups and individuals who are providing the service of real time media to their community. They are the hubs of the social media in their city.
  3. Many site owners are actively involved in developing social media participation within their cities. Domus provides the Social Media Training Center to civic groups to further this cause.
