I think there’s some some potential for Twitter to come  out of this sad and scary Swine Flu ordeal with shining colors.  Twitter could easily be a united global communications tool.  Like during the horrific attacks in India a few months back or a plane landing in the Hudson River in New York.  Twitter brings us news before it even hits the wire in many cases.  I have personally Tweeted that an earthquake was taking place while the ground was still shaking.

Twitter has the potential.  I’m just thinking here but maybe if @EV and @Biz the 2 creators of Twitter set up accounts for many of the public organizations and governments around the world this would get them to use it and keep their followers informed.  For example the World Health Organization could be @WHO and I for one would follow them immediately.

Anyways, I am not panicking but please take precautions and if you are sick, don’t be stoic, stay home.  Even if it’s just a cold you may have a lowered immune system.

You can follow me on Twitter I’m @JebBrilliant.
