Twitter Angels for Metromix L.A.
Mosaic illustration made for an article about the Twitter angels in Metromix L.A.
Twitter Angels is a term coined during the 2008 financial crisis. These "angels" were simple Twitter users who shared job listings and helped unemployed people find employment opportunities. Two mosaics were created showing a businessman with angel wings made out of computers, monitors, smartphones, and tweets.
Used on an article written by David Sarno (Los Angeles Times Staff Writer) published on Metromix Los Angeles.
The Twitter Angels were a grassroots movement during the 2008–2009 financial crisis in the United States.

The best-known group was JobAngels, started in January 2009 by Mark Stelzner.
