VT - Tragedy Online

filed under: Web 2.0

I thought this was an interesting article about how the awful events down in Blacksburg played out online. How students tracked the Virginia Tech shootings online. - By Michael Agger - Slate Magazine

I also found this piece, from the PBS TV show, The News Hour, interesting. It's about how technology has played a role in what's gone on since the VT shootings. In particular, it talks about the way technology has led to a new age of storytelling. Unfortunately this link is just a podcast - PBS didn't post the video from the show.
