Lily West at MSNBC Really Groks It

On the role of the Internet in the Virginia Tech tragedy:

“It was amazing. Almost instantaneously.. updating people on the latest newswires, coming in with pictures – I mean, it was really almost serving as a news and information source for a lot of people who couldn’t access a TV or a phone.”

Whoa Lily, hold up – let me make sure I have this right. The Internet was almost serving as a source of news and information? Pictures too? Whew – that is amazing! I’m super glad you explained that stuff!
