This is a link post Twitter tracks search for Skiers
One guy found by having an iphone with GPS and twitterers used to get him tracked down. Yay for new technology and media.

Unfortunately they wrote the article before the second person was unable to be rescued. Suddenly the use of instant update technology and a step by step account of proceedings then seems rather intrusive and personal and akin to 24hr news channel coverage we all berate.

This is a normal post I got a bit of this as it was happening
one of the people twittering is someone I know - don't know the poor sod who died though.

Rather grim little messages that went from "anyone know X's number?" to "Hideous, hideous news."

Ho hum.

This is a normal post I wouldn't hate Twitter so much
If they'd called it something other than Twitter
