This is an update to two seeminly unrelated posts: "What frozen peas can teach us" and "Jounnalism Reinvented."
A couple of days ago, a twitterer I didn't know about, but with whom some of my twitter "friends" had conversations and shared twitter/flickr initiatives - died in a car accident.
Her name was Ashley Spencer, otherwise known as @ahspeamama. She left behind a toddler, a baby and a husband.
A fund has been established in her name to help out her family. Spreading the word are lots of twitterers and bloggers who, in her honor, have changed their avatar to a purple and gold croc shoe.
I still can't get over the immediacy of the response. And over the lack of geographical boundaries. And the cross-channel coverage. And over the human story behind it.
