Paris Hilton Wakes up to Man With Knives Trying to Break Into Her House!

This morning Paris Hilton Tweeted that she woke up to a man wielding knives trying to break into her home! How terrifying is that! I'm not a huge Paris Hilton fan but I feel so bad for her. Thank goodness police caught him and nothing happened.

Here is her tweet:

• So Scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes. Cops are here arresting [him].

Being the big nerd and Twitter fan that I am I LOVE that she tweeted AND used a Twitpic to boot.

One of my favourite uses of Twitter is ordinary people documenting events and news in real time using the application. A few months ago I woke up to the smell of something burning and turned on my iPhone Twitter application and brought up all the recent tweets in my area on a map. One of them had a Twitpic of a nearby fire.

Do you use Twitter and Twitpic?
