The public spaces on the internet served as the most important arena for exchange of information on the events yesterday. Almost every news story cited a Facebook or Myspace page or a livejournal entry as a source. The Wikipedia entry and discussion on the event hashed out validity of sources and the semantics of tragedy. And then the jarring cell phone footage on Liveleak was among the realest indicators that this gruesome event had actually happened. The events as documented on the social web became the authority.
MTV was among the first to track web reactions, and the Washington Post has a fairly full blog roundup. Mydeathspace.com, a site that tracks online profiles of the deceased, has links to Facebook and Myspace profiles for many of the victims at Virginia Tech. The New York Times is soliciting comments and photos of the victims.
Sau hôm thứ Hai vừa qua, cụm từ “Ismael Ax” (mà hung thủ viết bằng mực đỏ trong cánh tay) nằm trong top-10 tìm kiếm của Technorati. Washington Post có hẳn một bài xung quanh ý nghĩa cụm từ này.
Bài hát mà hung thủ nghe đi nghe lại trên máy tính là bài Shine của nhóm Collective Soul:
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell what will I find ( will I find )Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find ( will I find )Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )Oh, heaven let your light shine down
I’m going to let it shine
Heavens little light gonna shine on me
Yea yea heavens little light gonna shine on me
Its gonna shine, shine on me.
