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

November 27, 2008

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.

Terrorist activity in Mumbai & Micro-blogging

November 26, 2008



Twitter has been buzzing with tweets about the terrorist acts in Mumbai before it became news on traditional channels. See the screen shot of TwitterScoop and MyTweetDeck.

I have been meaning to write about micro-blogging and it’s growing influence on digital media and online marketing for the last few days. I guess this is the time to condemn this heinous act of human aggression and showcase the influence of micro-messaging in spreading messages and memes.

I am concerned about my friends in Mumbai. I hope they are safe.
