Craig Kanalley: Boston Marathon Bombing Timeline: The Week in 50 Tweets, 5 Videos

Over the course of the past week, we witnessed the power of real-time news reporting with a major story.

And unsurprisingly, one of the most interesting places of the week was Twitter with its real-time updates. CNET Senior Editor Dan Ackerman may have said it best, that Twitter is a place "you can get a lot of information from different sources at the same time." There were chaotic moments, there were rumors, there was a lot of noise, but in the end, Twitter was able to tell this story in a real effective way, especially if you followed many different accounts.

Here's a look back at 50 tweets, including 15 pictures, and five YouTube videos (one for each day) that tell the story of the Boston Marathon bombing, from beginning to end.

From the explosions on Monday afternoon to the capture of the second bombing suspect on Friday night, Twitter proved to be a constant stream of news surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing. Here are 50 tweets (including 15 photos) and five videos that show how it all unfolded.
