This is not about the benefits or effects of Twitter, but rather about an article pertaining to a mother using it while her son was being saved from drowning. This particular phrase has already warranted protests by now, I am sure. However, while I was reading the article, I actually found nothing wrong with her act.
The paramedics were trying to revive her son and she went on Twitter only to ask for prayers for him. There is nothing wrong with this. When he passed on, she went on the website to announce it. Again, it can be a form of asking for prayers for his soul and of trying to gain emotional support. It can also be an update to her previous post.
I cannot fathom why there is outrage at her acts. One of the reasons is because she shared something very personal on Twitter. Some of the statuses on Facebook are even more personal! There is no justification, really. I feel that there was no need for her to remove the posts due to unfounded social pressure.
