The second annual “Shorty Awards” were announced Wednesday night honoring the best producers of “short real-time content” on Twitter. Cyberjournalist reports.

Winners included Haitian radio host Carel Pedre, who used Twitter to inform the world about the recent earthquake, and Janis Krum, the ferry passenger who uploaded a picture on Twitpic of the US Airways plane that landed in the Hudson River in January 2009: “There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.”

Other winners: MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, popular app TweetDeck and fictional Betty Draper.
