Digital fundraising still pushing Haiti relief
A 48-hour-old fundraising campaign to help the devestated Haiti earthquake victims, done through text messages on Thursday hit $3 million. The next morning it was $6 million. The campaign, made viral on networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, had raised $8 million by Friday. The Red Cross campaign's tally would be double the $4 million that was donated to all charities by mobile texts in all of 2009.
This is a great, fast and efficient way to send relief to earthquake-struck Haiti. Americans are experts on dealing with phone technology. So what a better way to use the technology than to help people? The victims in Haiti are receiving help due to the benefits of texting! That is amazing that so much good can be done through little text messages. This method of campaigning and fundraising has been proved successful. In the future, this way to spread information, knowledge or awareness should be used to do so in quick and efficient way.
