Bob Collins writes about the espected flooding in the Fargo-Moorehead region, and how social media has been used to organize volunteer flood fighters. A quote from the story: “I got an e-mail last Thursday with a call for volunteers. It just kind of hit me that we can really get the word out quickly… to a lot of people in real time using a social network like Facebook. We also have a Twitter account set up. People have this up and running at work, at home, going to their cellphones. E-mail seemed a lot slower, which is funny since it’s always been known as a fast method to communicate.”
