Saved by Twitter
After reading about a man who was practically saved from Egyptian detention thanks to Twitter, I think I may have been too harsh on this online service. According to the story, James Karl Buck, a graduate student of journalism in University of California at Berkeley, was arrested in Egypt. The charge: none, but he was picked up while photographing a public demonstration.
Thank goodness for Twitter’s mobile phone service! Come to think of it, I used to twit from my cellphone before… but it’s just too darned expensive (P10 per text message, I believe). The important thing is, it’s an available option!
