these social network sites have given us a lot of convenience. during the monsoon rains that flooded most of Luzon recently. Twitter has become an instrument to ask for help and to inform those who are giving help on where the people are who needs to be rescued. also, a lot of people international stars to be exact, are calling for prayer and help for the Philippines. these social sites are of help after all

Yep, these social sites elevated our way of communicating with others. It is very useful especially during times of calamities. I think we will have better tools in the future and these social sites would just be a thing of the past. Until then, these social sites are the medium of communication in the net.

twitter is a medium and it can be used wrongly by bullying other persons or in a good way and this time it was used in a good way such that a lot of prayers were given, a lot of people were saved due to the environment change
