In my country, crime is very common, but a family was saved -roughly- thanks by twitter (And f course, by a guy very addict to Internet -I guess- )
A group of thefts take a house when a mother and a her "friend" get home, with guns, threaten them and tried steel the house.
However, A twitter user`s of 28 years old was chat. When he heard what happend, he send help messeges to the chat and with twitter. Because that, his friends called to the police. Anyway, the thefts escaped when they tried to turn on the family car`s. After, the police arrived.
This is only an anecdot, but, I think this show the importance of to be in contac with the world, you never know when you can need help.
The new was taked from "EL TIEMPO"
