Tweets from the banks of hell by Lisan Jutras, Globe and Mail (Jan 24)
Twitter lines were humming with stories out of Haiti. Some of these stories are mentioned in this article.
"These messages, like telegrams from the banks of the River Styx, showed up in my Twitter feed in the days after the Haiti earthquake. Originally posted to the micro-blogging site from journalists and Haitians on the ground in the ruined city, they were re-tweeted into wide circulation. Not coincidentally, the public’s response, largely through online and SMS donations, was tremendous."
Very first hand, very human.
