On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 earthquake struck the island nation of Haiti. Centered just fifteen miles from the capital, Port-au-Prince, the earthquake caused massive damage and destruction. Virtually every building in the city was either destroyed or severely damaged. The latest Haitian government figures on the confirmed loss of life is over 150,000 in the Port-au-Prince area alone, but that is likely to change in the future as efforts continue, and rubble begins to be removed. The scope of the tragedy has led to a massive outpouring of support to aid Haiti. | On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 earthquake struck the island nation of Haiti.

I had a long chat with him in which I extolled the good heart and caring nature of the people in this community. "We are liberals and progressives, we are interested in politics because we care about people," I told him. I described how this community responded to a simple appeal with incredible energy and self-sacrificing generosity, and that after five years here I had expected no less of us. He was impressed, and is working on an article about how new media and social networking sites are mobilizing to help the Haitians. He got the idea for that article from us.</blockquote> | This social network fundraising effort is attracting the attention of other media.
