London Bombing Stories Shared Widely Through Blogs, RSS, Flickr

My heart goes out to everyone in the UK and around the world victimized by today’s cowardly bombings. Scenes and reactions to the events in London were captured and shared quickly by shocked Londoners and spread throughout the global community via blogs, RSS feeds, flickr photos and wikis. Hopefully blogging will help more and more people around the world from all faiths and political perspectives connect to the people killed and injured by these useless violent acts, putting a face on the real impact of terrorism and war and giving a voice to more people to debate our differences in public rather than acting out in sneaky, cowardly ways. People aren’t numbers that should be tallied up in a global scorecard to assess which side is winning the battle.

Jeff Jarvis, Andy Lark and Steve Rubel provide useful links to sources of information on the tragedy in London.
