Virtual Zombie Outbreak

Every week, as part of #zombietalk Thursdays, we are going to start Virtual Zombie Outbreak, with a new outbreak starting in a new city each week.  Given how today's social media tools spreads news, there's little doubt about how news of an outbreak would find its way onto Twitter and Facebook.  Think of this exercise as a zombie outbreak firedrill.  Here are the "rules":

• Starting at 9AM Eastern Time, the outbreak starts.
• If you're in the city where the outbreak is happening, posting updates as if the outbreak were really happening, ie. "People are running through the streets!" or "We've barricaded ourselves at the Walmart on 34th and Broadway"
• If you're not in the city where the outbreak is happening, post updates as if your city were responding to the outbreak, ie. "They've shut down all incoming flights from Gotham City!", or as if news outlets were reporting (or covering up) the outbreak, ie. "CNN reports that the National Guard has been mobilized"
• Make sure to include the hashtags #virtualzombieoutbreak or #vzo lest we have another "War of the Worlds" situation on our hands.  Also include #zombietalk if you have space.
• Let the outbreak evolve throughout the day, it doesn't make sense for the first sighting to be at 10AM, and then have the city overrun by 10:05AM (unless its some sort of super virus)
• Have fun and be creative!
