A Facebook Page called "Yo tambien senti el temblor del 16 de mayo a las 1:06am en Puerto Rico!" ("I felt the earthquake May 16 at 1:06 AM in Puerto Rico, too!") was formed within an hour of the rumble, and more than 11,000 people have "Liked" it in the morning and afternoon since then.
The page doesn't serve a practical purpose; it isn't a hub of citizen journalism or a tool for relief workers. Rather, it's a place where a community of Internet users can connect and share anecdotes about the quake through wall posts and shared images, including one natural disaster-themed Kanye West "I'mma let you finish" parody.
We've seen Facebook groups and Pages used to rally around other events and causes, such as support for talk show host Conan O'Brien during his scuffle with NBC over The Tonight Show and mocking teen pop idol Justin Bieber with an onion ring.
We keep seeing more examples of Facebook helping people share experiences and values and save them for future reminiscing. It's not unlike a high school or college yearbook in that sense.
