Haiti, Mobile Giving and Technology Changing The World

Today I  marveled at the way that giving has been transformed by technology.


You can donate $10 to The Red Cross Haiti relief by texting “Haiti” to 90999. Amazing. Easy. I did this as soon as I was made aware of it. It took seconds....Just seconds....  Imagine that! Just think of the people who will donate who might never have before. Or those who mean to donate but just never get around to it. This was so immediate. So fast. So impressive really. In 2 days they have raised $3 Million Dollars, $10 at a time.
