Wild J. David ; 8 March 2008. “Blogging System would aid communication responding to disasters.” A team at Indiana University has done a research paper on disasters and how blogging can help with communication. Their thesis is that they want to find ways of improvement of communication of technology during a disaster.
"In the wake of recent disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, it was clear a lot of useful information was generated in blogs and other social computing sites, but there was no systematic way to use the information, and help responders and others get a real sense of what was happening," said David J. Wild, assistant professor of informatics. "Further, problems of reliability and trust hampered good use of this information." (quote take from: http://newsinfo.iu.edu).
