Using Social Media for Tornado Relief
I watched CNN news on March 7, 2012 at midnight that reports 37 dead in waved of storms across Midwest and South. About 17 million from Texas to Indiana to North Carolina were affected by the massive tornado outbreak that began Friday, and continued into the weekend. I suddenly clicked www.american.redcross.org and made my donation to victims.
However, I still surf the Internet for other social media sites to find out which one helps tornadoes victims . I have found several sites, and they are very helpful. For example,
Ten Doves Charity (disasterfunding.org) is one of organization to announce donors about Hurricane funding, Tornado relief, Flooding relief, and Japan funding .
www.theindychannel.com This website also involves to tornadoes relief. It gives information to RTV6 viewers and social media users. They can participate in Tornado Relief. click here
The last site that I have found is very interesting. It is a company that helps people to do when they need help.

As we study a text book "We First", we can find the title in Chapter 6 about Why the World needs a Responsible Private Sector. Simon Mainwaring describes, "WE FIRST thinking posits that we as a society need to construct a new paradigm of cooperation among government, philanthropies, and corporations to achieve the scale of meaningful social transformations required to build a better world against a ticking clock." "We cannot build a better world without their collaboration," adds Mainwaring.
These are good news for us that I have found the sites to help tornado relief. We are connecting the world through Internet.
We just click a mouse to go online. Then, we can help each other on Social Media sites.
