US computer scientists are recommending useful follow-up: logging on to a social networking site, such as MySpace, to share information and survival tips.

Think about the news business and breaking news. Reporters would do better to glean information being posted about emergencies and putting together 'vetted lists of what is the best info about a breaking disaster story than going out and trying to cover it, and just being one more set of eyes with a limited on-the-scene view.
