Mike Covell’s Blogg

Jack the Ripper is huge on the internet, but it’s only when you dip your toes into the Social Networking sites that you realise how huge the case is.  Facebook and Myspace all have dedicated areas for Ripperologists, Historians, and Crime buffs to gather and discuss the case, and Twitter has several Ripperologists posting updates, or Tweets, regarding the case and their research. 

A search of Facebook’s ripper related pages brought up over 600 pages with ripper related content.  Whilst some of them are laughable “I Love Jack” type pages, there are some that feature maps, photo’s and discussions on Jack the Ripper and his unfortunate victims.

I post my information about my local history, Jack the Ripper, and Paranormal research on Twitter, and found that it’s a great way to keep updated on local, national and international news, views and topics that are associated with the case.
