The NYT article did mention that.

One such project emerged in Israel, where developers created a service using the Yo app to alert people to rocket strikes.

That is why my proposed APP may get someone's attention quicker.

Of course the ticker symbol could be problematic.

Since the Virginia Tech shootings most colleges have instituted a policy of texting out alerts to students to run for cover.

Sad this world has come to that state.

This latest sad incident in the Ukraine is a good example of social media gone bad.

Terrorists bragging about the shoot down and airlines saying their route is safe to fly.

Singapore Airlines says sorry for social media posts after MH17

Hours after the Malaysia Airlines jetliner was shot down in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing 298 people, SIA's Facebook and Twitter updates said its own flights were not using Ukraine airspace.

That triggered a flood of angry responses, with many lambasting SIA for not offering condolences to the victims' families and for mounting what some perceived as a publicity stunt during a crisis involving its neighboring country's flagship airline.

"You better come up with a more considerate, diplomatic and a more sensitive status before you lose customers," said a post by Edwin Lim on SIA's Facebook page. "Very, very inappropriate and disappointing status."
