Everone is watching

It's not only big brother who is watching, it might be anyone with a cell phone.

CNET News reports that camera-equipped phones have delivered images of some of the most-talked about stories in recent months and "turned regular folks who happen upon crimes, celebrity gaffes and civil catastrophes into photojournalists. And with sites such as YouTube and Revver.com...millions of Web users can witness these events from a you-were-there perspective."

Cnet gives several examples -- the hanging of Saddam Hussein, the July 2005 London bombings, the tsunami, police beatings, etc.
