Website Impacts With website glitch, URI posting latest updates on Facebook, Twitter April 4, 2013 12:55 pm SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- …..University of Rhode Island website has been inaccessiblesince reports first became known of a possible man with a gun on the Kingston campus. URI just tweeted, below, that it is working on the website issue, and will keep its@URINews twitter feed and Facebook page up to datewith the latest information. URI also just tweeted, below, that the afternoon's events are definitely not a drill, and that no injuries have been reported.
Improper Use of Social Media??? The Providence Journal created a “Twitter map” of tweets by people giving information about the lockdown on the URI Kingston campus. The map uses search terms including “lockdown” or “gun” or “shoot” or “shooter”.
