On January 12, 2010, I didn't personally experience the major earthquake that hit Haiti, but I was forever changed by it. In the midst of inexplicable tragedy, my personal definition of the social web got rocked. But I wasn't prepared for the type of incoming information I saw in the weeks after January 12, 2010. .

That sort of information could be a newsletter sign up, a contact form that should be responded to, an online donation or an event registration. I know a lot of the free site tools, wikis like wetpaint.com, keep trying to move to become more social, and let the audience/membership interact more – that is definitely related.
