“ What is the essence of a tabloid story? I think it’s the thought, “This could have happened to be, but I’m so glad it didn’t.

“ It turns out it has a lot of different facets, because while there’s many people doing stupid narcissistic things, that gets you to use it on a regular basis and it gets you familiar with it. But then when you see an accident, you’re trained to tweet that you’ve just seen an accident, and suddenly that’s a useful piece of information. Whereas, if we told you that this was a program only for reporting accidents, you’d never think of it.
