Twitter helped Atlanta residents locate which gas stations had gas when and how long the lines were. Who knew what a useful tool twitter could become in a situation like this. I have a car myself and was on E just looking for a place to fill up and decided I would head home with what I had left until I heard some news. Luckily the AJC website had a link to a Twitter search with the phrase "#atlgas".

Today I gave www.friendfeed.com a whirl, and for the first time, feel like all these web services that I use are actually connected in a way that works for non-geeks as well.

Let's face it, most people are on myspace or Facebook, with more and more people going to Facebook every day. It's easy enough to use, and since they have added applications, any other website out there with an API has a way to integrate the two.
