AFP: MySpace links users to US hurricane emergency alerts: "NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AFP) — In what is heralded as the seeds of an Internet-age emergency broadcast system, MySpace has teamed with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to spread news on hurricanes through users of the online social network.
As Hurricane Gustav blasted the US Gulf Coast early this week, DHS officials telephoned MySpace executives to 'fast-track' a project to build a disaster alert system that capitalizes on the hot Internet social networking trend."
