Amber alerts and social media can play a huge impact on getting the word out about a cause or emergency. We should start a #911 hashtag for similar situations.

Thanks again for your help and willingnewss to share with your network. Debra - I agree, there is something about online relationships that incent people to bring out their good side especially when it's transparent. Anonymously, that can be a different story. I hope the "good" trend continues and one day social media will really directly impact situations like these. Thanks for dropping by!

I saw the tweets happening and was relieved that so many folks used social media as a means to an end. I truly see more people being kinder and more "human" because of our online relationships. It's possible that social media is exposing more of the compassionate side of us all, making the good stand out starkly in contrast to all the negative news that hits us regularly. Maybe that's just a hidden benefit of social media - the information we share is more good than bad. Adam, I am so glad Caroline is safe and at home.

There also can be a "telephone game" effect - at one point it was suggested on Twitter that I was a relative. At another point an incorrect link was shared to a photo of Caroline, which instead pointed to a toilet - it was an accident. The communication channels aren't perfect, but I agree with Mark's bottom line: Caroline is home safe. Beth, Liz - Thank you for sharing that - I didn't go far enough back in the search.twitter.com history to see what was out there, Liz definitely mobilized a great response from her network. I've added her to an update in the post. Liz, thanks so much for taking the time and for your thoughts and response. Chris, Mark – I agree there can be disingenuous elements of any situation.

I had two people affected by her disappearance so I felt very much involved. A sigh of relief was heard across Twitter when the news began to spread. It was the passing of the information that really counted. Thank you for making sure that I knew. Hi Adam,
