Check out this map to help Sandy neighborhoods find gas stations...mappler.net

I think its a great example of how quickly and creatively web tools can make solutions widely available--I am wondering what other web based information sharing you may have seen over the last several days as you weathered the storm?

someone else just blogged about this very topic:
good.is

I think this stuff is awesome. I read a blog post this morning claiming facebook/ iPhones were "meaningless toys" and the real innovations of the past decade were google's optimizations of core technology.

These apps and uses of social
Media aren't just flukes though- with more and more connectivity and powerful computers pervading our lives, I think we'll continue to see awesome things like this!

I mostly stuck to twitter for updates on the storm, but wnyc had a really good transit update app the days after.

Also helped a cabbie find gas yesterday with Facebook!

I wonder how effective the volunteer coordination has been using social media. The sites I learned about through who I follow on twitter include interoccupy.net

and of course the web site links to the fb and twitter pages
