[Is this list too long to read? I just published the Very Best of Twitter List. I am no longer tracking Twitter. What could top the Hitler's reaction spoof?]
I've been tracking Twitter for the best news updates, comments, reactions, photographs and jokes from around the world since one hour before the official announcement.
Scroll down to read tweets from Dr. Henry Kissinger, Keith Olbermann, Clinton and Geoge Bush and John McCain quotes, The Young Turks, The Daily Show co-creator, Stephen Colbert, Daily Kos creator, filmmaker Michael Moore, the Pakistani man who ended up live blogging the raid in Abbottobad, Fox News fails, BBC Obama dead spelling error, photos of NYC firemen rejoicing at the news, Conan O'Brien, Albert Brooks, Lord Voldemort, Gryphen (the immoral minority Alaskan blogger of Sarah Palin fame), tweets from the community at the Anti-Palin blog Politicalgates, the official New York Times frontpage, Fareed Zakaria, NYT and WSJ South Asia reporters, The Hindu, Indian Express, Times of India, Al Jazeera- English, reactions from Indians on Pakistan's role, reactions from around the world, a gruesome graphic photo of Osama's bloody face, and much much more.
Before we start, a word from President Barack Obama:
The President's remarks on the death of Osama bin Laden, full video: http://OFA.BO/HApttn
Chief of Staff, Office of Donald Rumsfeld, Keith Urbahan who was the very first person who "leaked" the news on Twitter:
So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden. Hot damn.
Here you go. The best tweets from Twitter:
SPOOF: In case you haven't seen it already, here's how Hitler reacted to Osama Bin Laden's death. :-D http://ow.ly/4NH0l
Pak. For. Secretary says Pakistani media knew about raid before military and govt. #OBL
To be sure OBL photos don't leak, CIA should double-check Facebook privacy settings - they are very confusing.
Disappointed with #OBL's million $ mansion. Open drain,bad paint & shoddy construction. ISI's military engineers (MES) cheated OBL. SCAM :)
MT @AriFleischer: Good decision not 2 release UBL pics. If u doubt he's dead, no photo will satisfy. For rest of us, Navy Seals don't miss
No release of Bin Laden photos http://bbc.in/jwcGjw
Let people deny Bin Laden isn't dead. If he's not, wouldn't he appear and say, "Look, I'm not dead! #DuhMuch #GhoulPorn
They found both Coke & Pepsi in Osama’s compound. Impressive. The world’s worst terrorist & he still found the time to conduct a taste test.

Republicans allow a terrorist to kill 3,000 Americans, and the Democrats bring that terrorist to justice.
The Republicans are praying that news of Osama Bin Laden's death is untrue. If not, they are going to lose their minds.
Got to reiterate, Obama was criticized for shifting the war toward Pakistan. Now that seems incredibly smart.
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." -- George W. Bush
The very first tweet to break the Bin Laden news. The New York Times traces it back to the source. http://nyti.ms/k1GatS
RT @owillis: #glennbeck only has about 8 hours to figure out how the death of bin laden is a clue to the global caliphate
20 new fans a second joining Facebook page titled Osama Bin Laden Is Dead. http://on.fb.me/lU581q
I didn't think Trump could look any smaller, but knowing Obama had this in the works all the while destroying him with jokes.Priceless!
@AndiWhiteberry man!!! Love this guy. He said last week birth cert. Non sense is a distraction of important things... Who knew
I guess when POTUS said he had more important things to worry about he wasn't kidding.
Safe to say..... @SarahPalinusa is " Going Bonkers " tonight. #MissionAccomplishedUnderObama
Sarah Palin can now see Obama's reelection from her front porch.
Safe to say..... @SarahPalinusa is " Going Bonkers " tonight. #MissionAccomplishedUnderObama
Would a death mask of Bin Laden be sufficient or do we have to see jpeg's?
Hey @SarahPalinUSA - Since you keep saying you read soo many newspapers online, you must have sumpthin' to say.. #CatGotYourForkedTongue ?
That birther who refused to serve in the Army under Obama just had the worst week of his life.

RT @pittswiley: RT @jeremyscahill: hearing it was SEAL Team 6 shooters that killed OBL.
Support the hard-working journalists trying to beat deadline tonight and buy a newspaper tomorrow, please.
Tonight isn't about us...but about the thousands of men and women who went into Afghanistan who fought/died for our freedom. Thank you
"Rejoining of Celebrity Apprentice already in progress" just adds to the delicious devolving of #Trump
RT @daveweigel: Weird RT @Toby_Ziegler: May 1, 1945: Hitler's Death Announced. May 1, 2011: Bin Laden's Death Announced
Damn it, i almost accidentally retweeted Sarah Palin. Need to be more careful!
Peter Bergen talking on #cnntv right now. Abbottabad very close to Islamabad. Skeptical re: Osama's kidney probs, health
Obama: "I made killing or capturing Bin Laden our top priority" GOP: "Muslim hearings"
Watch the statement: Terrorist leader Osama bin Laden is dead: Obama - ndtv.in/iGDIAy
@vikramchandra Will Americans finally wake up and realize how much Pakistan has been toying with them? How long have they been hiding him?
@vikramchandra Exactly. CNN kabul reporter says some Pak officials helped. Question is which ones? What did ISI do?
OBAMA: "I made killing or capturing Bin Laden our top priority" GOP: " NO Gay Marriage "
@BarackObama authorised operation last week. Launched today. Firefight. No Americans harmed.
@BarackObama just finished announcement. Need more details. What did ISI do? Which Pak officials helped?
I'm not gonna say 'R.I.P' to Osama Bin Laden... he deserves to rest, but NOT in peace! #godblessamerica #missionaccomplished
OBAMA: "I made killing or capturing Bin Laden our top priority" GOP: " Anchor Babies!"
Have I mentioned how much I admire this man we are blessed to call OUR #President? Thank you sir, for a job well done.
NYT front page is being ripped up and reproduced right now. Six-column, two-row headline.
@ShashiTharoor Pakistani officials helped capture Osama bin Laden outside Islamabad. White House about to make announcement.
Justice has been served! Osama Bin Laden has been reported dead! I am Australian... but #godblessamerica
Did Pak ISI help capture Bin Laden or were they hiding him in Islamabad?
CNN says "human operation," not drone, killed Bin Laden and family members in mansion near Islamabad, Pakistan.
Will Americans now wake up and stop financing Pakistan ISI? @Shashitharoor @fakingnews @rameshsrivats @ndtv @tehelkadotcom @indiareloaded
@lizzwinstead Especially because now Pakistan will be in deep trouble. Americans will finally realize how much Pak has been screwing you.
This is so much more fun to live tweet than the oscars! #AndLessJamesFrancoJokes
Pakistan is in deep trouble. They've been protecting Osama bin Laden all this time. He was in a mansion outside Islamabad for god's sake!
#cnntv Ed Henry reports Osama bin Laden killed in a mansion outside Islamabad, capital of Pakistan. Please retweet.
Osama Bin Laden may be dead, but won't be Official until his Long-Form with-notes Birth Certificate is located.
Breaking News: Osama Bin Laden is Dead!!!!!! See the latest on http://bit.ly/jT144s, #TooSoonJokes #TooSoon #Jokes #Laugh
God bless our military and our inrtelligence services...,..the thankless work they have done...bless you all...
it is a bit weird, eerie, that this happened eight years to the day of bush's mission accomplished banner
RT @BreakingNews: MORE: US said to have bin Laden's body following military operation - NBC News
So when did he actually die? Did we do it? Or did we just catch Al Qaeda in a Weekend with Bernie's situation?
lol @ FOX news can't spell. Too excited? http://mattchew03.tumblr.com/post/5121300805/eh-close-enough RT @mattchew03
WOW. Fox News FTW. RT @mattchew03: Photo: Eh, close enough. tumblr.com/xaz2cp38zp
On an unrelated note. (Or is it?) Eight years ago today, President George W. Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq.

damn! obama kills osama...who wud have thunk? Dont know why, i dont feel so thrilled about all this..a whole lot of celebration for a persons death...its so damn morbid..people are so fucking scary.
Turn on CNN. People at Ground Zero are celebrating a sense of closure, not the death of the person, per se. Saw a woman bring out a photo of her dead husband. Others saying, "Today we are all Americans."
Thanks for all the tweets PC.
:-) Don't forget to share.
yeah....that will make sense...a sense of closure...when i first heard this i was in the car...i stopped on the road side and fucking cried...then i went to a client office, where they were giving each other high fives and I was thinking that somewhere someone wud have done that too when the towers went down...been feeling so isolated and outside today...sometimes i find people scary.
These are great PC. I especially liked a couple of Michael Moore's. O/T: Your final site looks great.
