#Ferguson up close  on twitter

11/25/2014

 
Picture
It's easy not to notice things that happen out of site. If you were in Ferguson, Oakland, Seattle or New York City last night you might've had a hard time avoiding the sights and sounds of widespread civil unrest.

But here in rural, densely wooded Northern California -- it would have been easy to miss. Unless you're on Twitter. There's a lot of things that Twitter doesn't do well, but it's an excellent tool for crowd-sourcing first person narratives and multimedia from emerging news events.
