In what ways did twitter help in Christchurch?:
It helped because when people were trapped in the fallen and destroyed buildings were tweeting things like Help me stuck in building need rescue and also people outside Christchurch have been tweeting @ the people in Christchurch with support messages and links to relief websites and donation sites “please help the people of Christchurch, New Zealand by going to www.redcross.org.nz/donate #eqnz” was tweeted by @MCHammer. This also helps because it means that people all around the world who read MCHammer’s tweets will be aware of the situation and a few may even click the link that was tweeted and donate.
Quote examples of tweets that show different uses
MCHammer RT - please help the people of Christchurch, New Zealand by going to www.redcross.org.nz/donate #eqnz”
Why is twitter good in a crisis
Because people can tweet @ the twitter users who are trapped or are helping and using twitter actively telling them where they are and what is wrong
