How did we exist before social media?
I originally signed up for Twitter for business reasons, and shortly after, the blizzard of 2010 hit. Phone and Internet were out for more than 1 week, yet I was able to deliver updates via my Twitter account. Local property owners appreciated the information…and I was hooked.
After this weekend, I REALLY appreciate the value of Twitter. I was connected to others evacuated from the shore, and able to read updates from those who stayed behind. Even the municipalities “tweeted” regular updates.
A big thank you to my life lines: @CookeCapeMay (Cape May) @amysrosenberg (Ventnor/Margate) , and @JasonNark (North Wildwood). Their messages allowed me to provide information to other shore family members, and have a clear perspective of the situation near my home. You all deserve a sunny beach day!
