| L'Hédoniste | The Earthquake made Twitter a hero. Evac'd the building everyone on their cell phones - Disaster recovery people running around trying to get ahold on things - and here I stand, cell phone in hand - refreshing and reporting my Tweets: Looks like it was felt in Santa Monica... Brea... Long Beach... Preliminary estimates 5.8 Chino Hills... All MY loved ones are safe... It was that awesome joy of childish one-upmansship. What's that - oh I'm using twitter - but it's blocked by our company as a "dating" site - dating and disaster recovery Heh I was giddy for hours even if dissappointed that we didn't hit the 6 mark

				            | Twitter and text. The news had someone from VZW on last night and suggested that people become more familiar and comfortable with "alternative methods of communicating via cell phone" for future reference. |
