In 2009, for example, two trapped girls in Australia chose to post to facebook for help rather than dialing emergency numbers directly. Their Tweetsgiving campaigns were fundraisers benefiting Mama Lucy’s school in Tanzania and connected the students to their supporters through Twitter. Another great example is Epic Change.

If web users knew of someone else who needed help, 44 percent would ask other people in their social network to contact authorities, 35 percent would post a request for help directly on a response agency’s Facebook page and 28 percent would send a direct Twitter message to responders. That’s why the Atlanta councilman used twitter!
