#140conf: Day 1, intermission
Great googly moogly, #140conf flies by quickly. Here’s the overview of the first half of day 1.
Emergency Communications @ #140 Conf: Day 1, Pt. 9
Jeff introduces the panel, talking about Ann Curry tweeting about Doctor’s Without Borders plane trying to land in Haiti, and her tweeting to the AirForce to find a place for it to land. And they did!
Another panel member had a unit on the ground rescuing people based on Twitter traffic! “An open hailing frequency to help each other.”
This promises to be some powerful stuff:

Ann Curry @ #140 Conf: Day 1, Pt. 8 (partial transcript)
Ann Curry. (@anncurry).
This is absolutely the most anticipated talk of the day – unadulterated Ann Curry, speaking without a script. Many people trickle back into the room from the networking room – some of the first audible cheers from anyone other than me.
(This is a partial transcript; content in quotes is direct from Ann.)
“To me it’s about the rise of empathy, the rise of compassion, which reaffirms in my view our evolution of a species … I believe based on my study of history that we’re evolving to a great, more compassionate, more empathetic people.”
