Chris McGinn posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about how Twitter can be a faster way to get information you want to know.
Twitter is changing the way people get information. One big clue was when the first pics from the Hudson River plane crash were posted on Twitter before they hit anywhere else.
Now it’s swine flu! If you want the latest info, don’t wait for news outlets to update stories or the CDC to change its website–go to Twitter.
Whether it’s CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta on the ground in Mexico City or the CDC’s own Twitterstream, you can get faster and more up-to-date info than anywhere else. Of course, always be sure to check the source but there are lots of reputable ones out there on the topic.
Another timely (although perhaps less trustworthy option) are local message boards like The Mommies Network sites where residents in your community may post information about themselves or those they know before local media has information.
Just something to add to your emergency preparedness plans.
