The real value of social media…

Weird, stressful day. I work right around the corner from where the explosion occurred in NYC. Cell phone coverage was non-existent. All the folks on their phones in this picture must’ve gotten through, but I had nothing. The best I could do was tweet and txt to let my family know I was OK. While I’ve never been a fan of Twitter - my posts until now having been largely experimental - I gained a new appreciation today. Anything that gives your loved ones piece of mind is worth its other issues. As I watched firefighters racing down 40th Street towards Lex - not knowing what might await - all I could wish was that their families had the same assurances mine did. I hope you’re all safe and sane tonight and that the same is true for the people you love.
