Yesterday, I posted a photo that floated down from the sky near my home, after the tornadoes over the weekend, 70+ miles away. The Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader is inviting readers to upload the photos they’ve found to the newspaper’s website, in hopes that the owners can retrieve them. It’s a great example of the network effect of the Internet, and how easy-to-use Web tools can be used for good.
