So I’m More Like Hitler Than I Thought…

A few days ago, I was Twittering from the Emergency Room with my daughter. While it was scary at the moment, the ER docs treated her immediately and everything was eventually fine.

In the meantime, praying and tweeting was all I could do as I held my daughter’s hand while she lay half-asleep and swollen on the hospital bed. People I know intimately in real life, and those I don’t even know their real names, sent comforting sms and tweets of encouragement. It was a Godsend.

I’ve always touted the value of online communities and social networks and the real life benefit they can bring. But now it is official.

I’m one of “those” people.
