For quick access I suggest cell phone to twitter, the I collect know twitter accounts into a friendfeedroom. If I don't know the twitter account I use feedmysearch to locate relevant search terms and I collect these in the room as well. In order to get info back quickly you can use twitter's direct message to email and then set it up to sms. http://twitter.com/TweetTrak and other can convert search terms to direct messages > you then arrange email to sms and there you have the redirected comms. You can also send (email) these updates to your friendfeed room. I have setup my account at friendfeed here http://friendfeed.com/johanhorak and my Simon's Town community get there news here http://friendfeed.com/rooms/simonstown This is the room where most of the community will congregate in time of need. I have also started a room for people who want to help teach communities to use online communication tools; twitter.com, frienfeed.com, hashtags, fring.com and other. You are invited to join and help me. The major problem I have is the technophobic nature of people in a local community. At the moment I provide classes for these to just make a start. They all use sms. All they now need to do is sms an alert to twitter. I then send the twitter feed to the room and there you go. A community adding value to the community. Here's the WHALES room where you are invited to help. It's new and your input will make it popular http://friendfeed.com/rooms/whales Regards Johan Horak Hi
