This article I found is about a guy who's car stalled in the center lane on the 5 freeway in Seattle. The man (Micheletti) was actually heading to the BMW dealership because the service light had come on recently and was going to get it checked out when his car stalled. He missed the dealership by two miles. Micheletti called for a tow truck and then decided he was going to post a message on Twitter. He posted, "That black BMW stalled in the center lane on the I-5? Yeah that's me, I don't like it either." Within minutes people were reposting his message. About 20 minutes later AAA was able to move his car to the shoulder and finish towing him the rest of the way to the dealership. Then again Micheletti was on his Twitter thanking all for their help and apologizing for the inconvenience. He seemed amused at all the attention he was getting over his post. This story just shows how much people rely on the Internet for communication and information.
