Another consideration Verizon can make to improve their disaster recovery would be to change the locations of their telecommunications offices.

Interesting analysis. I am still a bit weary about using re-tweets as a metric to gauge the lifetime of a tweet. When consuming a twitter feed, only a very small subset of tweets that are read are re-tweeted. RT'ing will only happen when a tweeter is comfortable sending out another's tweet as his own. There are many cases where a tweet can make an impact without being RT'ed (ex. vulgar jokes)
