Info Overload

It has to be said though that apart from Thai Visa, Twitter has been one of the best sources of UPDATED information available! With an unabashed bravado, both Silver Bullet and I solemnly confess that we caved in and signed up for a Tweeter account just to get live news updates. The irony of it all, especially for Silver Bullet who loathes social networking sites. In this instance though, signing up for Twitter was probably the best thing we could ever done as we became news junkies.

Call it information overload, but here are some fascinating stuff out there shared and posted by Twitterers who covered the crisis in Bangkok in the last week:

1. Central World Fire

Unfortunately, I am not too sure on the original source of this to give credit to, but is one of the most photographed sites and one image that can be found rampantly on the web.  

(Can't help but notice the perpetually bemused look of the gold statue. The irony!)

2. Simply Eerie

Again, not too sure where is the original source of these images for me to mention credit, but the similarity depicted here is really scary.

3. The Crackdown

Visually engaging photographs that will make you cringe as the contents are rather disturbing

(WARNING: PROCEED WITH CAUTION)

4. A Perspective from 2007

One of the Twitterers  I was following happens to be a journalist from The Nation. This crisis reminded him of an article he wrote 3 years ago...

Opinion on the "Mastermind"

5. Global Voices
Snippets from bloggers from all around.
