My take: its not like she was tweeting while the kid was still floating or gasping for breath, and what better way to get the word out to your circle

of friends, her mistake was not having a separate tweet circle for personal and public. or thinking that everybody following her tweets were friends and family however extensive.

Last night an old friend I've shared moderator jobs with on a pro photog list posted on FB that his wife is in the hospital with a very broken hip (and you know how bad that can be for an elderly person) and that's what FB and twitter is about and for.

yeah, it's a new day - while it seems odd, it's really no different than sending letters by snail mail or calling people on the phone. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 17, 19:00 2
- Or having someone email someone else to have it posted on TT....been there, done that :( -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 17, 19:03 1
  - yeah. I think if it was me, I would rather do it once (tweet) than have to call a dozen people. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 17, 19:03
