(The growing) Influence of Web2.0 in crisis situation

David Stephenson a leading e-government, Web 2.0, and crisis management strategist and theorist had an interesting post today, just around when I made my post, on how Web2.0 data may aid anti-terrorist forces combating acts of terror.

David’s post suggests US law enforcement agencies learn from the Mumbai case about the effective monitoring and use of micro-blogging services.

By the way, I came across David’s post via a tweet from TimO’Reilly. David’s full post is here.
