Ten Bucks.

A couple years ago I starting using Twitter never knowing it would become such a daily part of our lives. Now some of you readers out there still might not twitter and even think it’s a waste of time, but as we are seeing with the Haiti relief effort…twitter is playing a unique roll…raising literally millions of dollars from 100′s of thousands of people around the world.  Basically the Red Cross has a partnership with cell phone providers and if you text “Haiti” to  ”90999″ you can donate $10 to help bring aid via your cell phone bill. I did it the other day and was pleased to see both how easy and secure it was.

So I am encouraging my readers to join this cause…everyone can afford $10 on their next bill to help provide food, water and shelter to those who need it. What an awesome use of social media…to bring rapid relief to people in need thousands of miles away.
