  • Well said. Very quickly the story turned to Twitter/Scoble/beating USGS by 3 min. I also did not like watching how TechMeme rewarded a lot of A-list tech blogs and aside from Global Voices Online was not able to identify other great sources of English content on the Earthquake such as Shanghaiist or Danwei.

     

    Another example of self-reflective narcissism at work. At least Jeremiah Owyang tried to use his bully pulpit of social media to ask people to have compassion and give to the Red Cross. Kudos to Jeremiah for that.
