The following is a news extract in part from - [http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/79460/LATEST%20HEADLINES/Twitter+helps+raise+millions+for+Haiti.html]
The Haitian earthquake on January 12 may be one of the worst in the last several decades in terms of the number of people killed, but it may also go down in history as a natural calamity where social networking played a vital role in the rescue and relief efforts. In less than 24 hours of the earthquake, Twitter and Facebook helped raise millions for the homeless and the injured people of Haiti.
The earthquake was massive - 7.0 on the Richter scale, with at least three million affected and unofficial estimates placing the number of deaths at close to one lakh.
In no time, Haitians and foreigners in Haiti uploaded thousands of photographs on Twitter using third-party applications such Twitpic.com and Tweetphoto.com to raise awareness of the extent of destruction caused by the earthquake. In fact, messages on Twitter and Facebook asking people to donate to the International Red Cross Society created such a buzz that the nonprofit body raised $5 million (approximately Rs 23 crore) in about 24 hours and at the time of going to press, more money was being generated.
Haitians who survived used Facebook's status updates to tell their families and friends abroad that they were safe.
Since both Facebook and Twitter are available on the cell phone, updating became so easy that Facebook had to block Haitians from repeating their status messages. On Twitter, too, the messages kept pouring in - every minute, close to 1,000 messages were being posted on Friday, three days after the earthquake. Close to 5,000 messages were being posted every minute on January 13.
