Now two mayors of large cities, New York City's, Michael Bloomberg and Newark's, Cory Booker, are addressing the situation and keeping their followers posted via their "tweets." The Washington Post has done a comparison of their activities and responses over the course of a couple days. Twitter gives us a glimpse of two mayors in the throws of chaos. I like Booker's attitude at the end. He had an opportunity to toot his own horn, but passed it up and defended his peer.
