Posted:

As someone's hopefully told you, for the last month and a half a 2-foot-wide pipe in the Gulf of Mexico has been ejaculating oil to the tune of half a million gallons a day. We went down to Louisiana over Memorial Day to see some of the damage for ourselves.

GUESTPOST: Cause-Based Social Media and the Power of Acquaintance

Posted:

Everybody remembers their first time and mine was January 15, 2009. Twitter was in full tilt over a picture tweeted about downed US Airway Flight 1549.
