Avi Auction
Well Movember is fast approaching and few months back I had this idea. What if I auctioned off my Avi to the highest bidder? Now this all started from a Twitter conversation between myself, my work partner @jods10503 and @ifyouseekkatie.

I would like you all to watch this. it is a very profound video. This is the face of bullying. This is the effects of bullying. A beautiful girl taken from this world way to early.

No child; nobody; should ever have to go through the torment she went through in her life.
We all owe it to her to make a change! Talk to your kids, nieces, nephews, grandkids, and friends. Tell them to stand up for good! Report bullying. Take a stand for victims don’t expect someone else will do it. Be a leader.
Amanda Todd I will always remember you!

The results, while not earth shattering to anyone who has been keeping tabs on disaster response, emergency management and education / awareness, have some very interesting results.
There is no doubt that in an emergency, people will turn to social media to talk about, learn about and share their experiences when disaster or emergencies strike. That is the new normal when it comes to information, due in part to the immediacy and availability of information in real-time and the research supports this:
