Given it was her first earthquake experience, Wilson did what comes
naturally--she twittered it.
"As soon as I got dressed, I twittered my experience from my cell phone," Wilson
said. "I usually twitter to 80 friends, but I now have 274 messages from people
commenting on it."
Twittering and texting may be the way to go in an emergency, given landline and cellular phone networks were heavily congested as callers jammed the lines, creating frustration for some users who had difficulty getting calls through.
