YouTube, Twitter Augment China Earthquake Coverage
From the Silicon Valley Insider:
Want to know what that giant earthquake in China's remote Sichuan looked like? Better yet, want to know what it's like to experience a 7.8 magnitude quake? Someone claiming to be a Sichuan University student posted a video to Tudou, where it's No. 2 on the homepage, and it was reposted on YouTube. The video shows interminable shaking, creaking and groaning of what appears to be a college dorm.
Plus the Insider notes that search engine Summize shows lots of Twittering about the earthquake; unclear how many of the Twitters are actually near quake-affected areas. More coverage: U.K. Telegraph, Poynter Online.
