The entire country shudders down to view the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks. All the countrymen were trying to gather latest updates of the entire sequence of events from the affected sites. But what matters at such moments is, the authenticity and spontaneity of information. And amongst such upheaval if we find a true friend always on toes for us we are fortunate.
Twitter has proven to be one such pal, as the tweets really gave unabridged details of the happenings from the places engulfed by terrorist attacks. To the extent that when the news channels initially reported the mission over at Taj, tweets were hinting at that the struggle was still on and later it proved to be true. The sites like Flickr had photographs from the affected areas within no time.
‘Social Media for a Cause‘, as it helped people to know the wherebouts of their lost brethren and relieved them of their worries. The power of Social Media is immense and it has proved to us as Twitter was on toes when we wanted it the most!
