Twitter has become a top source for breaking news, as long as you don’t mind half of your breaking news being wrong. A number of big-time fibs started as tweets this year. Pop-ology breaks down the best:

- Rick Sanchez is a crack fiend: Someone else hacked CNN anchor Rick Sanchez’s account, telling the world, “i am high on crack right now might not be coming into work today”
