Schuylkill County Spreads Word of News Rapidly With Social Media

Before the days of Facebook and Myspace (remember that one?), you had to wait a day before you could get news of why your borough's fire whistle went off or where the police were heading when they flew by your house at 8:00 PM.  Unless you were one of the lucky few to have a scanner.

That is no more with the help of Facebook.  Many pages have popped around Facebook just to spread the word of news around Schuylkill County.  There pages dedicated to strictly announcing any fire calls in the county or even Police activity.


Now whenever you know something is going on, everyone just hops on their mobile device and within seconds you know what's happening.
