Inspired by a tweet, it's a story about a crowd-driven movement following the Jakarta bombings Friday (July 17) morning. Started from Friday afternoon, the Indonesian Twitter users put their new red and white (represents the national flag) avatars.

The country’s Tweeple also added #indonesiaunite hashtag and in the next couple hours, the red and white avatars started sweeping the Twitter timelines and #indonesiaunite hashtag became the number one "trending topic" on Twitter!

Then, it also triggers many "off-line" activities, related to the country's recent problems and challenges.

The real media

5

The most amazing part of twitter in my mind is it plays an important role of the real media. News in twitter always fresh, vivid and unfeigned. Sometimes, we may depend on twitter to help us understand the whole affair. And i do hope someday twitter will become a good company of social media.
