Social justice implications
Twitter has been used as a "social justice tool" to connect groups of people in critical situations. On April 10 2008, UC Berkeley graduate journalism student James Buck and his translator, Mohammed Maree were arrested in Egypt for photographing a local anti-government protest. On his way to the police station, Buck used his mobile phone to twitter the message “Arrested” to his 48 followers who contacted the UC Berkeley, the US Embassy and a number of press organizations on his behalf. While being detained Buck was able to send updates about his condition to his followers. As a result of the message and the efforts of his Twitter friends, he was released the next day from the Mahalla jail after the college hired a lawyer for him.[31][32]

Fans say they are a good way to keep in touch with busy friends. But some users
are starting to feel 'too' connected, as they grapple with check-in messages at
odd hours, higher cellphone bills and the need to tell acquaintances to stop
announcing what they're having for dinner."[
