Small-Cap CEO Lesson: Web 2.0 Coverage Of Plane Crash Beats CNN and Major Media

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:27 PM on Thursday, January 15th, 2009

The following photo came from a passenger on a ferry that was sent to pick up passengers from the US Airways plane in the Hudson River (click to see full sized image).

“Jkrums” used his mobile phone to take the picture, then post it via Twitter, where it was then sent around the web like wildfire.  In the meantime, all CNN could do was provide aerial footage from helicopters.

If you’re a small-cap CEO that still doesn’t believe in the power and speed of Web 2.0, you’re more doomed than the passengers of this flight – who all got off safely thank goodness.

George

    They weren’t doomed. It was the plane that was doomed. In essence you are saying that small cap CEO’s will be saved and the media – agoracom is doomed.
