Twitter launches testimonials initiative to showcase social innovation

Twitter Stories, launched yesterday, has been launched to share interesting stories of the way that the micro-blogging service has made a positive impact on people’s lives."Each story reminds us of the humanity behind Tweets that make the world smaller," Twitter wrote on its blog.

 

 

It has posted videos of great uses of Twitter both large and small. Stories range from the heartwarming story of a son who saved his mother’s bookstore with a tweet, to the bone-chilling tale of a man who relied on Twitter for help when snipers entered his backyard in Tunisia. The site even features the story of one man who found a kidney donor after tweeting, “[expletive], I need a kidney.”
