Journalism student chooses a news-worthy route

[TC] Twitter Saves Man From Egyptian Justice:

UC Berkeley graduate journalism student James Karl Buck was arrested on April 10 without any charges in Egypt for photographing a demonstration. He used his mobile phone to twitter the message “Arrested” to his 48 followers, who contacted UC Berkeley, the US Embassy and a number of press organizations on his behalf.

The impressive part? People read the message and actually did something instead of resuming their World of Warcraft activities.
