Twitter helps save the day regarding a student's arrest

Morning,

I had heard about this two weeks ago but now it’s being picked up by mainstream media. To wit:

…James Karl Buck sent a message using Twitter which helped get him out of an Egyptian jail.

Buck, a graduate student from the University of California-Berkeley, was in Mahalla, Egypt, covering an anti-government protest when he and his translator Mohammed Maree were arrested April 10.

On his way to the police station, Buck took out his cell phone and sent a message to his friends and contacts using the micro-blogging site Twitter.

The message only had one word. “Arrested.”…MORE….

Fascinating reading and one that you should certainly share with your children. It’s a testimony to the power of technology.

Enjoy!
