Anecdotal, of course, but I found twitter to be very useful during the
SF Bay Area fiber cuts a few months back. I was able to fairly quickly
get reports of who was down (UnitedLayer) and who wasn't (everyone
else), and made some good contacts, some of whom I've done business with
since (Cernio).
Set up a twitter account for outage/event notifications, and don't
*ever* use it for marketing.
