I learned of the 7.8 earthquake in south eastern China today via Michael Darragh's Twitter stream - our Digital Influence team member in Shanghai. Horribly, as many as 900 students may be buried, the BBC Reports. While I don't want to turn such a terrible event into a communications object lesson, I see one of the true benefits of Twitter in the early twits out of China. It reminded me of following the blog of the tech guy during the Katrina crisis.
