Free from Egyption jail

A graduate student was arrested and put in jail in Mahalla on April 10. To help himself he sent out a text message to a micro-blogging site called "Twitter." He sent a one word text that may have saved his life. People that were also part of theblogging site were able to get news of his arrest right have he sent the message. This shows that blog sites and texting is important because it can ultimatley save lives. He used the site Twitter that is used when people are in urgent situations like Buck was in Egypt. Just with the use of this site, Buck's friends hired a lawyer on his behalf to help out the situation. It is nice to know that there are sites and blogs that can help people in this way and not just for communicating about everyday life. This also shows how quick texting communication is even from across seas. Twitter and sites like it make me feel safer if I were to be in any urgent situation like Buck was in.
