Microsoft is βeta testing a new communication and information access tool called Vine that is designed to help people stay on top of things, and stay in touch, during disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. Based on the technology that provides instant messaging tools between different devices, Vine is described by Microsoft as a service that “connects you to the people and places you care about most, when it matters. Stay in touch with family and friends, be informed when someone needs help. Get involved to create great communities. Use alerts, reports and your personal dashboard to stay in touch, informed and involved.”
Here’s a video demo showing some of the features of Vine:
