Help those hardest hit by tweeting.

It’s been a few weeks since SuperStorm Sandy has come…and gone. And now the rebuilding starts. Patch is helping.

Almost as interesting, I think, is exactly how I came to find out about bin Laden’s death on Sunday night. At 10:30 p.m., I was sitting on Boyfriend’s futon when he received a text from his dad that simply read, “Turn on the news.”  As soon as we saw the ‘Breaking News’ banner on CNN, we exchanged worried glances as we learned that Obama was going to be making a speech concerning national security. Since Obama’s speech kept getting pushed back and CNN wasn’t speculating on what he was going to talk about, we opened our laptops and turned to our most trusted resource: Twitter. Call me ridiculous, but Twitter can be a great news …
