Twitter and Amber Alerts

One of the newest web 2.0 technologies out there is a communication tool called Twitter. With Twitter, you can subscribe to what other people are saying, or their “tweets”. One of the greatest uses of Twitter has become news outlets using the network to spread the word of breaking news, or other entities doing the same. One great usage of Twitter is the official Amber Alert Twitter feed. As soon as an Amber Alert is issued, the system will let you know and you can help spread the word as well.
