    Twitter sort of not really saves man from suicide

    So this guy in Florida is driving along a bridge, and he Twitters that maybe he should jump off it and become the first Twitter suicide. Then, reports the New York Times, Twitter users come to the rescue! Well, they fruitlessly text him and call the cops, who arrive the next morning to find the man didn't kill himself but slept in his car on the bridge. Now he's moving to San Francisco so he can have real friends. Not exactly Web 2.0 saving the day, but enough to fake it for some positive Twitter PR.
