The twitter story that I have read was from a sea of fire (with a Tweet) and it was about the natural disaster that happened in Japan in 2011. At 2:46 pm, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake took place 231 miles northeast of Tokyo. This earthquake caused a 30-foot wave tsunami. The earthquake of 2011 was the largest to hit Japan. For more information on what happened can be found here. 
The problem was that a major earthquake occurred, causing a tsunami that damaged Japan. Family and friends, whether being across the world or within Japan themselves were worried for their loves ones. They wanted to try and get a hold of them somehow. Their theory was to send out messages to their loved ones and see if anybody needed help. These tweets would then be re-tweeted and cause a chain reaction that spreads throughout the entire world.
Their strategy use was simple. People on the opposite side of the world sent messages or re-tweeted messages across the world. Family and friends can check up on their loves ones through twitter due to Japan’s electricity factories being destroyed due to the tsunami.
I couldn’t exactly find the main site for Japan’s earthquake, so I searched around and found @AnimeGivesBack. This is a site on Twitter that gets people to donate to help Japan’s victims get back up on their feet. They have raised over $40,000 for the 2011 earthquake and continue to do so today with other earthquakes that have recently happened. I have tweeted two questions, but no response back yet. The questions I asked were, “I heard that the area where the disaster happened in 2011 will be able to finally be rebuilt. Is that true?” and “Was the earthquake back in 2011 the main reason you started raising money to help Japan?”. 
Ever get tired of wasting a trip to the cafeteria just to find out that you don’t want anything that they are serving? With the help of Cuinn G. Blair, we decided to think of a way of how to let people know “What’s on the menu?” and to help the cafeteria get extra student workers. No one wants to be low on workers on a busy night.
The problem would be people not knowing “what’s on the menu?” and for the cafeteria to get more workers when they are low. Some people, at least me, don’t want to waste a trip or a meal when going to the cafeteria. Yes, there is a little menu, but that may involve walking into the Ponzio building when one does not need to. The other problem would be that the cafeteria may or may not be low on student workers, so they need help with letting people know that they are hiring.
They type of tweets would mainly be updated versions. An example of that would be how @Caltrain uses updates to let people know if something is wrong or if there is any change is scheduling. This type of tweeting system would work perfectly for the cafeteria due to updating the menu and updating hire for work.
