There was a fire east of where I work, and interestingly @Wendy and @wintr both twittered about it simultaneously. Both of them took pictures of where the fire, and I’m sure if I got their locations we could triangulate the location of the burning. This type of instantaneous anonymous connection isn’t new for Twitter, but this was definitely my first fascinating experience with it.

Edit (immediately after initial post): See, nothing new for Twitter. @muunkky posted a link to results of the fire. I’m convinced that Twitter to us is like pheromones for ants. We just fire signals randomly but if a similar signal is caught by another individual, the strength of the signal increases and we are able to increase our knowledge. Through collaboration and emergence we are able to pinpoint something better than an individual ever could.
It's tough to think of a blurb for myself when I'm also on
