Thats like saying going to church is no help in a crisis. It helps people deal with the emotional toll of loss and a removal of a large part of meaning in their life. The exchange of thoughts and hopes for another are one of the most powerful ties that bind humanity.
Wouldn't the japanese largely be using kanji hashtags? This seems like faux outrage. I have a feeling given the vapidity of Lady Gaga's fan base that it would lead to more money going to the charity to sell bracelets than would be donated.
I see a lot of ads on that page isn't the author using a crisis to sell ads on his paper?
- biot 16y agoMy read from the article is that it's more akin to calling 911 during an emergency to tell the operators what a great job they're doing and that your thoughts are with them. Obviously a tweet has a much smaller impact, but multiply that behavior by tens of thousands of people it's not hard to imagine legitimate crisis messages scrolling out of view when someone finally gets signal and catches up on the last four hours of tweets.
