Japan’s Earthquake Shows The Strength of Social Networking
John Vinson | Staff Writer

Social networks become preferred lines of communication during Japan earthquake.

Telephone lines are reported to be down for most of Japan, and getting a hold of loved ones is a difficult task to undertake. As reports surface, messages from Facebook and Twitter provide the latest news. Doing a bit of research shows how the human spirit can be found within the social media platforms.
