    Amazing story about the power of social media and twitter. There will be plenty more stories like this to come, no doubt.

    So instead of sending a text message alerting people he was arrested, he used twitter. Or he could have called someone. Or he could have sent an email. How did twitter save the day again? Meanwhile, somewhere on twitter someone just told the world about themselves taking a dump. Twitter sucks.

    On his way to the police station, Buck took out his cell phone and sent a message to his friends and contacts using the micro-blogging site Twitter. The message only had one word. "Arrested."
