Just got home after spending the entire day at an offsite where my role was to discuss how a nonprofit in the post secondary education sector can use social media.

THanks for this post. I hope having access to these social media communities can provide comfort to families and friends.

ABC News has aggregated comments posted by students on Facebook and MySpace highlighting the role social networks have in connecting people with information and with each other..also noteworthy is the fact that mainstream media is using social networks as a major source of "breaking news" in this tragedy.

"An 18-year-old woman in California asked people on MySpace.com if they knew any of the six people she'd listed and asked them to instant message her.

One user on Facebook.com suggested that all others update their profiles to say "I'm OK."

There is an entry on Wikipedia, and according to Search Views there are 160 tributes on Facebook and a student made video at CNN has been viewed over a 1000 times. Tom Markiewicz posts his Twitter updates.

Marianne Richmond also blogs at Resonance Partnership.
