Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s family used twitter (and a website) to update details about arrangements, who would speak at the Friday memorial service and famous Edward Kennedy quotes. (Funeral photos / Funeral Program)
Through the use of twitter and their website, the family was able to keep people directly informed and make information available to people who could not attend in person. This gave the family the ability to manage events related information in a way that could not have been done had the coverage been left entirely to the press.
(This post is in no way an endorsement of Senator Edward Kennedy’s views, opinions or actions and is merely an observation of how twitter is being used as it becomes an ever more central part of how we communicate.)
