This article by CIO chronicles various uses of Twitter, both good and bad.
Outside Veracruz, Mexico gunmen were dumping bodies off a road and Twitter users were sending out warning before police could even arrive. Ironically, a law had been passed that same day banning Tweets that "undermine public order".
The article discusses the riots in England and when the Egyptian government blocked Twitter and Facebook. Several U.S. examples are used, including in San Francisco when transit police shut down cellular power to stop protestors from communicating.
