Twitter Saves Berkeley Student Arrested in Egypt
Buck, 29, used the ubiquitous short messaging service to tap out a single word on his cellular phone: ARRESTED. The message went out to the cell phones and computers of a wide circle of friends in the United States and to the mostly leftist, anti-government bloggers in Egypt who are the subject of his graduate journalism project. He was released the next day. You can link twitter to you facebook and IM service. I think it’s a really innovative idea.
