Donations for Tsunami Victims Pouring In Through Internet
The Washington Post on internet donations for the Tsunami relief effort:
As never before, people are turning to the Internet to donate money, the latest step in a revolution that has altered everything from shopping to presidential campaigns. "This is like 1951, when television really took off,'' Paul Saffo, director of the Silicon Valley-based Institute for the Future, said yesterday. "We are in the middle of a fundamental shift from mass media to the personal media of computers and the Internet, and charitable giving is a logical progression.''
Check out Amazon.com, where more than 53 million people have donated more than $3 million to the Red Cross as of yesterday. Here's the direct link to contribute. Kudos to Amazon. And Apple.
