The Good

http://google.org/personfinder/2013-boston-explosions/

The Google person finder for the Boston Marathon explosions was a tool that allowed people who had loved ones at the Boston Marathon locate said love ones with the hope that they were okay. The Boston Marathon bombings where without a doubt a huge tragedy, and caused panic and anxiety among many people. The fact that such a simple internet tool could help alleviate the anxiety that some felt and help authorities to better focus on the problem at hand, rather than receiving calls from people looking for their loved ones goes to show just how good the internet can be.
