Uneasy Rhetoric

They said the web was leading us to an impersonal world, but sometimes it can help us to reach out to our fellow citizens.

I’m using the quote as Vu d’ici pulled it in her post:

According to blog tracking service, Technorati, there were more than 1,300 posts about the blasts by 1015 GMT. (…) Many blog posts are expressing concern for people who might have been caught up in the explosions, while others are précising and pointing to online news coverage. (…) Flickr, the online photo sharing website, has also started to see images from people of the blasts. Groups are being set up to pool all the photos which are “tagged” with words such as “explosions”, “bomb” and “London”. Tagging makes it easier for people to find relevant photos.
