I have received approximately one hundred and fifty thousand notes (in their various electronic forms) from friends and family members about the young blogger that could [get his ass out of jail using Twitter]. Everyone from my net-addicted peers to the 80-something grandparents of net-addicted peers have sent emails, tagged me in Facebook notes, and (not ironically) sent tweet after tweet about this incident, which is such a potent reminder of how everything is changing thanks to how we communicate online — even the process and potential of being arrested in a different, and somewhat terrifying, country.
