Synopsis: The video covers the rapid growth of Twitter from the U.S. Airways plane ditching in the Hudson river in January 15, 2009, to the Boston marathon bombing on April 15, 2013 and addresses its integration into a “new journalism” and live news reporting through the social networking medium.

VSS Comments: Twitter is an example of how a new technology can transform the way information is reported and shared and its impact on organizations that interact with the public in providing and receiving information. As stated elsewhere in this website, new technology should not be used as a panacea in information sharing, with the thought that it will replace existing information acquisition and distribution methods, but should be viewed as a new, complementary method of information sharing. The HARS challenge is to integrate this transformative information sharing technology with existing technologies in a collaborate, complementary way so that the end result will be greater than the sum of its parts, thus creating a more powerful and ubiquitous information acquisition and distribution system. This is a HARS design objective and social networking has been integrated into the HARS design.
