Mumbai Attacks - Social Media
I was reading articles this morning about the terrorist attacks in Mumbai in the Globe and Mail. Beyond the usual reporting I was surprised to see links to citizen media and a to see a Google Mashup as part of the article. I heard last night on Radio Canada that the telephone system (land and cell) cannot cope with the volume and I wonder if these citizen media sources were chosen as the best sources at the moment to get information out to worried Indo-Canadians and Indian Nationals living here. I don’t recall seeing so much of this being made available in a mainstream newspaper before.
