Silicon Valley Tweets About Bin Laden's Death

A quick snapshot at what people were tweeting the moment after the news broke on Sunday night.

@srinatar (Sriram Natarajan, Santa Clara)  Surprised to hear how so many folks at ground zero feel BinLaden's death brings them closure to #sep2011. It was never about him.

@durbin (Neil Durbin, Mountain View) Am I the only one that was hoping that the US government was sitting on a captured Osama bin laden and gathering tons of intel?

@Evan_Low (Evan Low, Campbell) Thank you, Mr. President.

@asmadasbirds (Jennifer de Guzman, Fremont) And, yeah, I don't know. I feel pretty solemn about recent events. I wish there hadn't been a reason to kill bin Laden in the first place.

@bdsexton (Brian Sexton, Santa Clara)  So Osama bin Laden was not captured, but killed by a strike team? Somehow I don't think this news will be universally well received.

@CanuckFaninCali (Richard D, Sunnyvale) Who wishes that Obama would have done this after announcing that Osama Bin Laden is Dead? http://twitpic.com/4s8tcd

@TonyCaraballo85 (Tony Caraballo, Fremont)  Where's Donald Trump's press release taking credit for single handedly killing Osama Bin Laden??
