Twitter

I had a really amazing experience a few minutes ago. I don't check twitter very often. Sometimes I post a few things from my travels, but it's not really my cup of tea. Well. When I did a search for the hashtag #nairobi I found out a Dutch tourist desperately needed O negative blood at a hospital nearby. So I immediately responded (because I have 0 negative blood) and it turned out they weren't in need of it anymore, but still. How amazing is that?! They got enough blood just by posting on twitter. I shall have to donate blood while I am here, as I've looked it up, and they are in need of it. Granted it won't stay for very long if they don't end up using it, but still. It would be nice to feel useful here. We live in an amazing age. Imagine if that woman had been in need of O negative blood only 5 years ago? I will never again look down on people who use twitter too much; it's clearly a very useful, life-changing tool. If anyone wants to find me on it, I'm here: DisgruntledElf
