politicians, comedians and hollywood figures all seem to be tweeting to famously mixed effect. but at the root of all this micro-blogging activity is the question of whether twitter is ultimately a viable business model. newshour correspondent spencer michels has this report. >> his first tweet was "helicopters hovering above abbottabad at 1 a.m. is a rare event." if osama bin laden had been on twitter, he might have known about the helicopters in his neighborhood. >> reporter: chris taylor, san francisco bureau chief for a news web site called mashable, followed closely those first tweets that preceded bin laden's death, broadcast on twitter by a tech-savvy pakistani annoyed by the late-night sounds of helicopters. then a few minutes later he tweets, "go away helicopter before i take out my giant swatter." he had no idea he was saying these things for the ages. >> reporter: twitter, the san francisco-based social media service that started as a way for friends to update one another in 140 character-sized messages, was inadvertently breaking one of the biggest stories ever. >> what ha
