I’m joining a panel to talk about the response for support after the Haiti earthquakes last year. Reports of violence and of peace efforts could be placed via the web or mobile phone. That’s why the Atlanta councilman used twitter! Social media, like all technology, is developed by people. Why Social Media?

A similar example is that of an Atlanta city councilman who chose to post a message to Twitter asking for a medic to respond to an unconscious woman on the street rather than to dial 911 when his mobile phone battery was very low. The real-time web has also revolutionized the way we support local communities in disaster.
