I think Twitter is dumb... who really gives a rats ass if I am going to get a tooth out in 15 minutes? But there are millions of people who do it, and millions more who follow them around because they have nothing better to do.
One celebrity who Twits or tweets or whatever, is Demi Moore.
A 21 year old man posted on her twitter page that he was going to kill himself. Someone, either Moore, or Ashton Kutcher, or someone in the house, asked if he was serious. He replied saying he was going to hang himself and stream it live because no one cares.
Another actress... I forget her name, happens to follow Demi Moore's twitter page. She immediately called 9-11 in the man's home town and said that since twitter is open domain, she wasn't invading anyones privacy, so she reported it.
The police arrived at the house. The guy's mother answered the door. The police told her what was happening so they all ran into the guy's bedroom and found him slumped over his computer crying. he is now getting needed medical attention.
In this case, because twitter streams live and there was one nosey person who wasn't afraid to get involved, someone lived.
