The Internet is a great activator. Here's just one, small, local story that I'd like to share.
About 40 minutes ago, our local news station King 5 (@King5Seattle on twitter) tweeted that the Cherry Street food bank was about to run out of baby food. Here's a photo from @chrisdaniels5 of all the food that is left.
They also encouraged people to re-tweet, and posted a few more updates, one with a link to the food bank and how to donate.
About 15 minutes ago, two local business, Boom Noodle and Blue C Sushi (@boomnoodle and @bluecsushi) responded that they would be at the food bank within the hour with food.
Thank you twitter. Thank you King 5, Boom Noodle, Blue C Sushi and Seattle. You are awesome.
I'll update as I learn more, or get on Twitter and follow the story yourself. And keep retweeting!
