calamities updates in SNS
We were supposed to have our OrCom 25th anniversary and Alumni homecoming celebration last Saturday, September 26, but due to the very bad weather, the event was postponed to, supposedly, tomorrow, October 3.But, again, the homecoming and now an event for a cause was postponed to October 10 due to another typhoon, which is predicted to be a supertyphoon.
Almost every time I check my phone or FB since yesterday, I receive text messages and read posts on facebook regarding typhoon Pepeng. Tomorrow after the typhoon hits the Philippines, twitter and facebook will be one of the primary information banks regarding the aftermath of the typhoon Pepeng just like how it was during typhoon Ondoy. However, I hope that this time, videos and news shared won’t be as heartwrenching.
Stay safe everyone. I’ll wait for the twits and the posts. Surely, facebook and twitter help a lot in sharing real time and up to date information around the world.

this only proves how SNS can be so flexible. because a lot of people only see it as a means of talking to other people. they do not recognize the fact that even SNS can be a tool for us to tell the latest news and share it to others, most especially to those who are not aware. sometimes, we spend much time in SNS than in television. and updates in FB or twitter helps people know what’s really happening around them. 🙂
