Okay, one more.
One fascinating aspect of this Mumbai debacle is how citizens have really picked up the slack journalism wise. People are using Twitter, Flickr, and blogs as we speak to post real time updates about the situation way before major media outlets can get there. We are looking at a curious and fascinating future, folks: you thought the TV news was real time coverage? You ain't seen nothing yet. The filters are breaking down and thank God for that.
Please, please look at this stuff.

(Might I add this is a horrible strategy? People are using Twitter to communicate with one another and (maybe?) alleviate the panic and uncertainty they are currently feeling.)

Very good links on mumbai, will look at foods next time...
More people are likely to use mobile phones and technologies like SMS to get in touch with relatives than go online, because the number of mobile users outstrips that of online users in Mumbai. But when the phone lines are clogged, some people are realizing that going online may be a good alternative.
