LOL, slight problem with “so you can be the coolest on your block and tweet about the earthquake for days” … yeah, tried that with the quakes we’ve had in Christchurch NZ over the past 500 days and it doesn’t work – people jam the network and towers go offline (even with backup power). Nice idea though!
True indeed Nathanael, but a smart phone will let people know where you are even if you can’t send tweets. Keeping it live makes one find-able, especially if you have location services enabled. The charger itself runs a radio & flashlight as well, both of which are invaluable after an earthquake (or a bunch, as you have had unfortunately had to endure in Christchurch).
So where to upload the video. Youtube or your site? Let’s get rolling. Thanks.
