Twitter used during an emergency event - 1 views

  •  
    This is an example of how twitter can be used during mass emergencies or disasters which relates to Starbird and Palen's article on (How) will the revolution be retweeted? This article is about how a body of students tweeted about a shooting at UT austin reaching over 15000 posts after the incident. This shows how twitter can spread important news and will reach a wide range of individual's through common words, such as (in this case) 'gunman' and 'shooter'.
