Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A woman took a picture of three Irish men in Times Square. It took Twitter only an hour to track the lads down.
Another example of the power of SNS. When a woman posted a photo of three men to Twitter, their identities were revealed just in an hour and retweeted over thousands of times. Fortunately, this was an act of goodwill and resulted in a happy reconnection.
A woman walking in Times Square in New York was asked to take a photo of the three male Irish tourists. It sounds quite common in tourists’ spots. However, they asked her to use her smartphone because none of them had one. When she asked how they would get the photo, they simply said they would find it someday. And in fact, they did.
Though this is a heartwarming story, it also suggests how fast a simple photo or video clip could become widespread and go viral in cyberspace. One’s identity and whereabouts can so easily be revealed and published online so fast. Isn’t that just convenient or scary?
Enjoy reading the article and think if a photo is exposed online like this without his or her consent or knowledge.
