On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Police released a video of some unidentified suspects in a brutal attack on a gay couple. Within a few hours, a Philly sports fan and his online friends had identified some of the people in the video without the blizzard of false accusations that usually accompany an online investigation. Alex speaks to "Fan Since 09" about how he managed to corral a online mob into potentially solving a crime.

Loved this story! - A really uplifting example of digital humanity.

FanSince09 says he is anonymous because he's not supposed to tweet at work. His employer should find out who he is so they realize what a leader they have on their workforce and use his leadership skills for their own benefit too.
