The image above is of a seismograph reading and today there was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake in the Southern California region. I was reading about it this evening online when I came across an article that talked about Twitter being a “news wire.” Hmmm . . .there are a couple of pretty interesting links that show how Twitter was used by people as the quake began, informing their followers about what was going on. Of course some of the language is NSFW, which is to be expected in an event like this, I would think. All in all though, it’s not a bad use of Twitter, in my opinion!
