Irvine Fires

I am always interested when Web 2.0 technology is actually used to do something of practical value. Allen Stern has pulled together a wealth of resources from social networks, social media sites and the web at large to give us an excellent method of tracking the California wild fires.

With thousand of videos and photos and a wealth of text at our disposals, it is so much easier to keep an eye on the progress of this tragedy and keep our loved ones in the know. I would love to see an aggregater put together that could take disaster information and put it together in such a coherent fashion. In situations like this, information is a powerful tool.

If anyone knows of one, please drop me a line. I would love to feature them on the site.
