Missing girl's father finds help through Twitter
- tlrobinson 18y agoI suspect the coverage on CNET and other media will do much more to help than a few thousand Twitter users messaging each other. But if it helps Twitter users feel important, why not?
- auston 18y agoI'd like to believe that it was picked up on CNET/Digg because of Twitter.
- tlrobinson 18y agoWell sure, since it's about Twitter. I just don't know if you can extrapolate and say Twitter will be this great platform for finding lost children. I also suspect a real Amber Alert would be far more effective, since it notifies millions of people in the same region as the missing child, not a few thousand people scattered across the globe, most of whom who have no chance of helping.
- pingswept 18y agoUpon reading the article, it seems that the father does not, in fact, find any help through Twitter. "Word of missing girl spreads somewhat quickly through Twitter" would be more accurate (and less interesting).
