Twiiter and face book were designed to bring people together. Never did they think it would be so crucial in a time of need. We have all seen the tragedies that have taken place recently in Japan. There cell phone coverage is jammed, so people are using these social networking sites to get their word out. The bad news is even internet access has been in and out. This has been such a tragic event but twitter and facebook may have found a new niche. In times of emergencies people are heading to facebook. Millions of people are members and it seems facebook could create a new way for people to become safer and get the word out. When phones do not work and people might get displaced they head to facebook to get in contact with loved ones. These sights have a huge opportunity to expand in the future.
