Over two days during the London riots, I ran live blogs which kept people updated on what was happening. Twitter proved a very useful source, and as I live very close to Croydon and similar areas, I had to contacts that I could speak to about what they could see, and I also had a people providing me with live pictures through Twitter.
I recieved a number of 'retweets' linking to my blog, including one from Chris Ship of ITV news.
The blog attracted around 10,000 views in one day, and around 15,000 overall which I was very pleased with. It still continues to attract traffic to my blog on a daily basis with people still googling about the riots.
