TECH: Japan Uses Social Media to Reconnect Families Despite having a massive earthquake wipe out a significant portion of Japan’s infrastructure, Japan’s internet is largely intact. And not only is it intact, but it’s proving to be a more effective method of finding family and friends. As organizations, such as the Red Cross, are overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of the devastation and the phones lines are iffy, people have been posting updates to their whereabouts via Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc.  In less than hour after the quake, Twitter saw tweets coming from Tokyo at 1,200 per minute.  Mashable: http://on.mash.to/ff6gcr
