Doesn't breaking news require some kind of trust model? Take the recent events in Sydney as an example.
Many web properties like reddit or twitter already have the ability to break news, simply by virtue of having a critical mass of users that can add to a topic due to their first-hand knowledge of or proximity to an event.
The problem that remains is that this information is often hard or even impossible to verify. How will infobitt help me decide beyond my own gut whether a piece of news is correct or not?
If it only delegates that issue to its sources, what makes infobitt more than a mere aggregator?
