Twitter and Earthquakes

It is kinda of funny that 4 hours ago a 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit San Jose, California reported by The US Geological Survey and I hear about it on Twitter before it hits the news. So as a result of all the "Tweets", Today, people are talking about earthquakes. Just in case you haven't been informed yet, The San Francisco Bay Area reported a 4.3 earthquake at 10:40 a.m.(Pacific Standard Time) The US Geological Survey placed the location at 11 miles north of Morgan Hill, seven miles east of Seven Trees and 16 miles east-southeast of San Jose’s City Hall.
None of the networks. None of the local news stations. WINNER: Twitter rules. About that time my husband was taking off the ground at the San Jose Airport! Wonder if he felt anything? Don't know what TWITTER is? Funny, when I asked my daughter to follow me on TWITTER, she too had no clue what TWITTER was? Hey guys, she is 29 years old, and I am her mother, so who is living under a rock here? :) So For All you un-twitterers out there, here is the low-down : TWITTER is: it’s a social networking tool that allows you to send out small instant messages only 140 characters longs to who ever decides to “follow” you. Like Text Messaging on Steroids!



So, for all you who want to be part of the latest craze on the Internet, "Follow Me" on TWITTER! It's Free To Join!
