Twitter launches emergency notification service.
Sho Wills. Twitter launches emergency notification service. CNN. CNN, Sept. 26, 2013. Web. Sept. 27, 2013. <http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/25/tech/twitter-emergency-tweets/index.html>.Twitter has decided to make an emergency update notifictation service. What this will do is alert people if there is critical situation such as inclement in weather and other things of the type. Anyone who signs up to recieve these notifications will recieve them through either text message or a push notification. It is said that over 60 organizations have signed up to be a part of this new alert system. You can choose what organizations you would like to recieve alerts from, these organizations range from Red Cross to the World Health Organization.
I think that this is a very good resource to have and to be using. The alerts will allow you to be able to know when a critical situation is happening. I feel like this can help change the world in a better way because this will help people who arent't in the house or by a t.v to know that a critical event is underway or will be happenening. This affects me because I will be able to know if there is something unforseen happening or if there will be an inclement in weather.
"Twitter Alerts[...] brings us one step closer to helping users get important and accurate information from credible organizations during emergencies, natural disasters or moments when other communications services aren't accessible,"(Gaby Pena). This statement shows that people really do think that these alerts will impact the world in a good way. I think that they will impact the world by alerting us. If something catastophic ever does happen then people with these notifications will know when and where this is happening in the world. I think that these new alerts will be very helpful in the future.
Nice post. I like how it is organized well and the colors go really good together. I agree with you on the situation. It seems like a really good thing to have. I would suggest making your text bigger so it is easier to read. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Okay, next time I will make the text bigger, thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteI think thats pretty cool because then you won't have to download that extra app for weathher or news. You could just go on twitter. I wonder If you could add some pictures on here for visual context, But overall this is really good and I enjoyed reading it.
