Kevin: The HuffPost has a good roundup of the online coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting. A good roundup of information across sites including blogs, Flickr, MySpace and Facebook. Communication and information was decentralised.

Kevin: The BBC’s Robin Hamman goes through the process he used to contact bloggers and takes the media to task for their inconsiderate (to say the least) attempts to contact people on blogging and social networking sites.

Kevin: Friend and former colleague Chris Vallance takes a look at the ethical pitfalls of social media coverage not only for the MSM but for social news sites. Great nuanced overview that asks important questions.
