Crisis Management

Toby's post about crisis management really hit home. The unthinkable events that took place at VT last week left everyone questioning whether or not they could have somehow been prevented by alerting students. In this article, she discusses a new mobile text messaging system, Twitter, that can send out mass text messages for free in a state of emergency. This would definitely be helpful, knowing that every college student I know is addicted to their cell phone. Could this new technology save lives in the future? Check out this article and decide for yourself.
