YouTubing tributes to Va. Tech
April 20, 2007 in Va. Tech Shooting
Hokies 4/16, the memorial site set up by the Collegiate Times, has a series of videos from various colleges (and at least one high school) around the country which held memorial vigils in recent days. Go there and scroll down to see videos from George Mason, Nebraska, N. Georgia College and State University, UN-Reno, Mary Washington, and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional H.S.. All of the videos are being shared via YouTube. #
In light of recent controversies surrounding the video sharing site, it’s a good reminder that social media isn’t all about copyright violations. More often, it’s about sharing our humanity. #

I know that talking about grief is one of the best ways to heal. I wonder whether the survivors and victims' families will be able to use social media as a tool in that healing process.
