It turns out that his message on Twitter caused his network of friends to reach out, call around, and get people mobilized to help. There’s tons more to the story.

Wow, an amazing story of the power of Twitter, regardless of who actually sent the tweet. Definitely a tool to add to the advocate's /activist's toolbox.

Microblogs are indeed extremely powerfull: they are the first instant global media in the history of humankind.

Feedback is the key to any success, because success means you're getting people to react to what you're saying.

Microblogs are making it possible a message goes global in less then five minutes.

Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce and Tumblr

but also

Fanfou, Snockles, Khaces, Fritsi, Meemi, Gozub, Nolyo, Me2day.net, Noumba.net, Dukudu.de, Feecle.jp, Komoo.cn, Blip.pl, Smspr.ru, Numpa.nl

and many, many others

Always good to see that Twitter can, and does, mobilize. Be it helping someone arrested or for other causes.

Thanks for posting this, Chris.

Hi twittered "arrested," but perhaps he was legally detained. Good point, though, Gregory and Http500. You've got his twitter name, his website, and his flickr site. Feel free to investigate further. : )

i don't believe this... if arrested, his cellphone would be immediately taken.
