Organizing clean up after riots

I wrote last week a post about the good and bad use of social media. This time, social medial was used to clean up after the riots in London. According with psfk,
The Riotcleanup Twitter page has amassed over 87,000 followers and is constantly tweeting updates including clean-up locations and times, along with other information about the initiative. Twitter users are using the #riotcleanup hashtag to share their own experiences.

A Facebook group was set up to collate information after the damage caused in London and has 18,000 followers, with similar groups for the different cities affected. Also, riotcleanup.co.uk has information about how to help and a list of locations, dates and times for upcoming clean-ups.

So much better use of technology...
