Now that the Internet isslowly being restoredin Libya, we can expect more reports coming directly from the people involved in what’s happening on the ground. Journalists in and around Tripoli have been able to get some sporadic news out to the public, the most amazing of which has to have beenAlex Crawford’s historic rideinto the capital city with the Libyan rebels.

We’ve already taken a look at the dangers of misinformationspreading like wildfire on Twitter, and the events in Libya have certainly been no exception, with rumours of Gadhafi’s death spreading across the social network, only to be proven wrong shortly after. Twitter is indesperate need of curators, so when it comes to events in Libya, where do you  find them?

While mainstream media is doing its best to keep up with citizen journalists on Twitter, one of the smartest trends we’ve seen from many of them is to turn to social media as a source of information. All major news outlets have live blogs, with much of their information coming direct from YouTube and Twitter, while others have full-time curators watching Twitter and, more importantly, verifying the information that is streaming in.

So if you want to keep up with the breaking news in Libya, these are a few of the places you can go to get the latest.
