March 21 - Twitter coordination for SF protests

  • On March 19 the fifth anniversary of the US occupation of Iraq passed, and anti-war protesters in San Francisco used Twitter to coordinate their movements. The twitter log notes everything from who's arrested to where die-ins were happening (Not sure what that means). All this happened 1 block from where I live. SF is a very political and activitist oriented city. It's good to see they are leveraging technology on the activist front too.
