Technology used to Support Haiti

The Next Web’s Weekly Recap for January 17 by Mike Bracco reports on the positive impact technology has had to support Haiti:

The tragedy in Haiti has been all over the news recently and many have turned to technology and social media to support the effort.

The most popular method people have been using is mGive. The service allows you to donate to support the Red Cross Haiti relief effort by simply texting HAITI to 90999 to give $10. The donation is then simply added to your mobile phone bill.

As of a couple days ago, the text donation effort has pulled in over $4 million.

Google has also launched a Crisis Response page to support disaster relief in Haiti at Google.com/Relief/HaitiEarthquake.
