A Roar of tweets: Twitter used to help land plane with aid for Haiti earthquake victims
- Posted: 7:36 am Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Sometimes the real becomes surreal. Over the weekend I was on twitter and monitoring the best I could the unfolding situation in Haiti.
I happen to have been online during the time Doctors Without Boarders were trying to land their lane and ran into difficulties. I saw their press release and tweet, I saw Ann Curry's tweet about the situation and I ended up tweeting and retweeting about what was happening. And when I ended up including the US Air Force in one of my tweets, I received a message back from the US Air Force - "We're working it right now. More to follow."
I especially appreciated receiving a tweet from the US Air Force once the plane had landed.
My tweets were just part of a roar of tweets that were happening but more proof to me that together we can effect change. Together we can make a difference.
This story was recently shared in the New York Daily News. You can read this over at: Twitter used to help land plane with aid for Haiti earthquake victims
