With Twitter, I know that San Francisco just had an earthquake. A big one. Obviously that may not be of importance to someone in Knoxville…unless you had relatives there. Just one example.
Update: more. Truemors. wise crack. 5.6 hits South Bay. Dave Winer is ok but was scared. Biggest native apenny has ever felt. scared the stink out of a skunk. Twitter has coverage but not local tv. USGS page on the quake is here. another acknowledgement. on google maps. missed Scoble but got his house. could have been a tech bubble burst. still no news coverage. some missed it.
Update: Reddit comments. Building at 2699 California collapses. John Anthony Tenta aka Earthquake.
Update: Finally some news about the earthquake..wait, no, that’s just news reporting that Twitter reported the earthquake.
Wow, ok, between you and J. Hail, I’m convinced now. Twitter is a good thing. Now if I can just train myself to use it more.
I’ve got several friends in the Bay area, hope they are all doing ok.
