Hands On Disaster Response
HODR is using Twitter in the field: "After long days in a disaster zone the last thing an operations director wants to do is craft a grammatically correct five-paragraph essay. Twitter’s short text message like format is a quick and easy platform to communicate our situation on the ground to the HODR family and the outside world." You can follow @hodrops on Twitter.

A friend helped found HODR and is very engaged in social media online (see: http://www.colourlovers.com/).
This is exactly the kind of example of "better world" use of Twitter I was looking for, thank you.
Well done.
Another example of Twitter being the right tool for the right circumstance.

I just thought I should point out that the story of Twitter being used to great effect during the LA fires was what caused me to sign up.
Using Twitter to help deal with one of the floods: social media site at http://www.iowaflood.com/ aggregating the #iowaflood hashtag
gee, can't think in paragraphs when surrounded by disaster? Now that you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for twittering, will follow and learn...
