[P2P-F] social media in emergencies

[Michel Bauwens]

Dear Tomas,

Axel Bruns and his team at QUT's Mapping Online Publics has done ongoing
research on the use of twitter and social media in emergencies such as the
Queensland floods, the NZ earthqauke etc ..

see
http://www.mappingonlinepublics.net/2011/02/10/twitter-events-in-perspective/and
for an example
http://www.mappingonlinepublics.net/2011/03/16/twitter-in-the-christchurch-earthquake-pt-2/

I think it is important to present this to a wider global public, and wonder
if you could report on it?

Michel
