In Case of Fire, Do Not Use Twitter [Pic]

By Sid

Although likely a Photoshop, today’s Twitter meme du jour doesn’t seem too far fetched: “In Case of Fire, Do Not Use Twitter”, reads the image currently on the front page of news ranking site Digg (included below).

Twitter’s use in emergencies is well-established: we’re all familiar with the trend of live-Tweeting an earthquake – perhaps in favor of taking cover. Meanwhile, an emergency in Atlanta saw a councilman using Twitter, not 911, to summon help.

Even the parody isn’t so new: in May, the satirical news site The Onion joked that a dorm room fire “was quickly located and extinguished by authorities after 38 people Twittered that they were ‘fleeing a fire’”.
