Nice riff on my piece on Twitter in emergencies in Smart Mobs blog
By WDavidStephenson | August 10, 2007
One of Howard Rheingold’s associates did a nice riff in the Smart Mobs blog about my recent piece on Twitter’s great potential for sharing real-time, location-based information during a disaster — and the clever ways the LA Fire Dept. and Red Cross are exploiting that potential (credit where credit’s due, it was Howard’s Smart Mobs book, along with Kevin Kelly’s Out of Control, that started me on the path that led to the networked homeland security theory). Thanks!
