London Blasts
Friday, July 08, 2005
It is interesting to see how the news about the london attacks are being spread in weblogs, wikis, flickr, etc. Many victims and witnesses have been posting their pictures and personal accounts on the web. I am amazed by the speed and variety of information that we can get now. Appart from the official sources, BBC, Reuters, etc. which are more cautious at releasing information, now we can have a look at more personal and maybe realistic accounts from people who were there.
10 years ago, this wouldn't have happened like this. I think that the web and social software, as instatiations of the globalization phenomenon, are not only helping us to communicate better but to create awareness in the civilized world. We are more united by the web now, and I hope we can do better and stop war and terrorism.
