Where is Pat Robertson when you need him? He takes credit for
praying away a hurricane that threatened the east coast.

Last week someone put out a fake story that Irma was headed straight for
Texas when the weather professionals themselves were saying it was impossible
to predict its path so far out. Even now, its still up in the air as to where
it will go.

Hi,
Yeah. You just need to be discerning. Sadly, there's always going to be
garbage out there and we need to learn how to weed through the fake news and
other such trolling behaviour and look for the valid stuff. It's not just
social media that puts out invalid stories, just watch the History Channel.
Lots of their material is awesome, but they also show made-up material as well,
and the puny little disclaimer is often difficult to notice by sighted folks
let alone people like us.
Oh well, I digress.

Tim,
This is what is swinging me around to use the apps. You would probably agree
the benefits outweigh the garbage. I have friends in Texas who felt the power
of Harvey but were far enough away to be safe.

Hi,
FaceBook has a nice feature that lets people know that you're safe during an emergency
situation. Last year during the evacuation of Fort McMurray due to the wildfire, a
notification popped into our FaceBook feed stating something to the nature of "Let
your friends and family know your safe". We were able to let all our FaceBook
contacts know that we had made it out safely and were OK. This was a huge relief for
many of our friends and family as they followed the scary news of the event. Now, this
certainly isn't foolproof as one needs a device like an iPhone, and some sort of method
by which you can connect to FaceBook, like active cell towers, in order for this to be of
any service. But it is very useful in my opinion. This, along with follow-up groups etc
gave me a new appreciation for the power of social media like FaceBook during emergency
events. Granted, there's a ton of garbage on FaceBook and other social media platforms,
but this feature certainly was positive.

I don’t find it addicting but that’s me. I think the closest I get
is I do like watching content on youtube and other video sources but
I’m more of a passive user of social media. I get news aggregated
on twitter and so forth.

O in my opinion Facebook is what you would use to stay connected
with your family and friends and twitter would be the best for
gathering news and staying informed. You could follow the news
sites or aggregators you want and quickly get the latest.
Hope that helps.

Which would be ideal for me to sign up with, and the most
useful, Facebook or Twitter? I would only use an iDevice for this.
