There was an interesting story in the news of Web 2.0 in action. Recently David Praeger awoke to someone walking into his home. It became instantly clear that the guy was inebriated and Praeger didn’t feel as if he were in danger. So Praeger pulled out his Iphone and began Twittering the play by play. The passed out man was in the bathroom. As the scene progressed so did the humor of the tweets. Praeger began to Ustream the event live online as he had to yank the passed out guy out of his bathroom. He never called the police and had a short struggle as he got the guy out of his house. After the guy was kicked out he tried to come back in, but the locked door was enough to deter him. Praeger stated that he regrets using as many curse words that he did since it was being broadcast. Since this home invasion occurred for the world to see in real time there has been critics on both sides. Some people said he should have called an ambulance and some people said he should have beat the guy up. As Preager tweeted, he had several people commenting live. Web 2.0 what an amazing concept.
