How did I do that? Well, I was watching Twitter on Google Talk. Several people in China reported to me they felt the quake WHILE IT WAS GOING ON!!!
Over the next two hours I pointed at anyone who had info about the quake on my Twitter account.
It’s amazing the kind of news you can learn by being on Twitter and the connections you can make among people across the world.
I fear a large casualty loss. The epicenter was 50 miles from Chengdu, which has about 10.5 million residents. Already reports are coming across of buildings that have been knocked down.
