 I'm fine with Twitter, Posterous, Facebook, etc. for having fun and sharing snapshots. But if you take a genuinely newsworthy photograph and put it on one of these sites before registering your copyright... You. Are. Stupid. 

 Agreed.  

Which raises the question: What /do/ you do when you find yourself having taken a newsworthy photo? Given the pace of news media, the instant dissemination of images, and the speed with with stories come and go, how do you go about actually getting fair market value out of an image before the market dries up when the next big story comes along? As I understand it, the process of registering a copyright for an image tends to take a lot longer than a typical news cycle, and is pretty burdensome for someone like myself, who doesn't have enough experience in that area to even know where to begin.
