The Case Study on Twitter

Twitter is a very valuable tool to many of us. It has been used for many things like for emergencies. Without a doubt, Twitter can actually save lives. During the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, eyewitnesses sent about 16 tweets per second to inform their friends and family about what was going on. Twitter users on the ground helped compile a list of the dead and injured. Through Twitter, the police could know vital information to save the hostages and in determining the success of the rescue mission.
