This is the first tragedy we have had locally where social media has hit main stream. I wonder if 000 calls were published live on the web, or if 774 automatically published its text messages from listeners whether more people could have been saved? Concerned family friends may have monitored RSS feeds and sent through localised updates to people they cared about. Just a thought…People may have been able to get information that could have made a difference quicker on that saturday night when the emergency was really on.
