When a Berkeley grad student was jailed in Egypt for taking photos of a demonstration, he Twittered the word "ARRESTED." His Twitter followers (Egyptian bloggers and American friends) called the college, the US Embassy, and the international press, and the police soon released him. Of course theoretically he could have just called someone, but that wouldn't be much of a story. [Mercury News]
