Great outpouring of support by bloggers and the social media community for Haiti

1/17/10

It's probably really difficult to tell the exact impact that social media has had in mobilizing money and support to help the people of Haiti, though I am 100% certain that without bloggers contributing time, writing to their politicians, rallying round non profits - on and offline - there would be a material difference in the amount of money raised and the resources going to save people's lives.
