Mumbai on social media

After working a lot with Twitter over the last number of weeks, it’s easy to get swept up in the sheer volume of content, conversations and communities that are online these days … it can be truly overwhelming.

That was my opening for a post I was preparing, just to note some personal reflections on my Twitter experience. But given the horrific events in Mumbai since noon today, below are some related links (with the help of Poynter.org) on the situation. Clearly, an example of net neutrality accentuating our small world.

  • Twitter: tweets originating from within 15 miles of Mumbai.
  • NDTV.com is broadcasting live here
  • Sajaforum.org (South Asian Journalists Association) is, as of this writing, holding live discussion webcasts on their site every 12 hours.
  • Flickr: Vinu has uploaded photos from an attack scene.

Poynter.org contributor Amy Gahran is updating these and other Mumbai sources on her site, Contentious.com.
