- yes, he could have text messaged someone, but perhaps he only had the time or "stealth" to send the one word. Plus, sending it to his Twitter crowd assured him that someone would understand where he was and what had happened, at least enuf to get the ball rolling.

- 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.

- A fascinating article on how social networking on the move through mobile tech, means instant communication and support in an increasingly volatile world.

- "Stone said that as the service got more popular, they began to hear stories of people using Twitter during natural disasters with a focus on activism and journalism."
