Twittering the California fire
Cory Bergman October 23rd, 2007
We mentioned yesterday that LAFD was Twittering the fires, and now there’s the LATimes, San Diego’s PBS station KPBS and a blogger named Nate Ritter, among others. Since many of these are tagged, Twitter users can enter “track sandiegofire” in SMS or IM and receive notifications whenever a tweet goes out with that tag in it.

Apparently I missed this when I posted my earlier comment. Ooops.

Thank you so much for spreading the word about my feed. Thousands of people (and hundreds of twitter subscribers) have now been helped by using Twitter as a tool. But it’s only the beginning of citizen journalism doing a better job than mainstream. My blog has some ideas on how we can do better in the wake of this disaster. I would love your thoughts on it.
