Breaking Analysis: Sandy Recovery Spotlights Social Media

Superstorm Sandy has primed the pump for social media services, such as YouTube, Facebook and now Twitter, to gain respect and legitimacy as world-changing agents.  These services have begun to play an active role in news gathering, as well as providing useful information during crises such as natural disasters and tragedies, when victims have no other means of communication to rely on except their mobile devices.  Joining Kristin Feledy on this morning’s NewsDesk segment to discuss the impact of Sandy on the tech world is SiliconANGLE founder John Furrier.
