Twitter = Get Out of Jail Free Card
According to a CNN article, a U.S. college student was reporting on a protest in Egypt when he and a translator were arrested. Using a new internet craze and his cell phone, he sent one word to a Web site and his friends sent forth immediately to get him released from jail.
The word? “Arrested.” The craze? Twitter.
