Heroes – A Pilot and a Social Network.

A couple of heroes this week. A Vietnam Veteran and a social network.

Police and fire personnel put up with some amazing things. Their work goes unrecognized. Kudos to them.

Earlier this week, a routine flight from New York to Charlotte almost turned fatal when some Canadian geese flew directly into the jet’s engines.  The engines, unable to handle the impact shut down. The pilot was basically flying a glider.

The control tower told the pilot to head to another airport. The pilot, who knew he couldn’t make it, lined up his plane with the Hudson River in New York City and landed the plane on water. No deaths, just minor injuries.

Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger was hailed as a hero around the world for saving all 155 passengers and crew on the US Airways flight bound for Charlotte, North Carolina.

This pilot is a hero. America needs a hero now more than ever. It seems when America, is down we look for heroes and things to make us feel better.

On another note.

Twitter.com got a lot of press from the Hudson River incident. One of the first pictures to surface from the Hudson River was from a twitter user.

The picture was taken by Twitter user Janis Krums, who posted the picture to Twitpic. He was on the scene before the TV cameras arrived and was able to inform Twitter users that people had survived and that rescuers were trying to pick them up (“There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.”)

There was more Twitter information, too. Plane-related tweets accounted for eight of the 10 top “trending topics” (Hudson River, MSNBC, US Airways, LaGuardia, etc.) Clicking through to them led to reactions from thousands of concerned people, and brief updates from some of them about what had happened, including references to reports that everyone had survived and that officials believed a flock of birds had been sucked into — and thereby disabled — two of the plane’s engines during takeoff.

Google News had nothing at that early stage, and even Google Hot Trends — which serves a similar function to Twitter’s trending topics — had nothing on crash at first.

Of course, both of these Google services and the mainstream media will catch up. But during the plane crash, Twitter was on the scene right away, and caught many details before any other media outlet or major online service.

Do You Tweet?

Do you use Twitter?

First of all, do you know what Twitter is? If not, you are missing the boat. Twitter is a free service and social network for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Rarely, people answer this question when using Twitter. They’ll post new found links, blog posts, and

questions. I use twitter for all of the above. Questions are the best, because you’ll get an answer that is faster and more concise than using Yahoo Answers. Believe me, the answers are concise, you only get 140 characters to type on Twitter. You could even call it micro-blogging.

You can even use Twitter with your cell phone. You can send a text and it will post it to Twitter.

Twitter is still a baby. The uses for Twitter are limitless.

On Twitter, you add friends just like you do with most social sites. You type a keyword in the search box and follow people.

When I first started using twitter, I typed “Cleveland” in the search box. I wanted to connect with people from Cleveland so that if I got bored on a Friday night, I could find something to do.  I have found great restaurants, blogs and knowledge from Twitter. I even found out the other night that there is an Ethiopian restaurant in Cleveland. (UNICEF and Live Aid really helped.)

During hurricane season, I was getting first-hand accounts of the storms from my friends down south. When their power went out, they used their cell phones to give everyone updates.

There are all kinds of applications on myspace and facebook you can use with Twitter as well.

I use a Mozilla Add-On called Twitter Fox for my Tweeting.

So head over to Twitter.com and get an account. It’s free. (I love free.) Use it, and if you don’t like it, get rid of it. But I’m sure that once you use it, you’ll like it.

Do you use Twitter? Do you have anything to add? Leave a comment below and feel free to add to the discussion.
