#OneBoston Unites on Twitter

In a recent Twitter trend, Boston has come together stronger through the Boston Marathon tragedy on April 15, 2013. When two bombs exploded, killing three and injuring many others, within 24 hours the city of Boston united together on Twitter. Using the hashtag #OneBoston, Twitter is donating to The One Fund of Boston for hashtags surrounding the #OneBoston Twitter campaign. The results have been moving.
