Over the last week, technology has played an unprecedented role in bringing aid to and saving lives in Haiti. Over $22 million has been raised by the American Red Cross via text message (about a fifth of total Haiti-related giving to the organization so far).

Another great example is Epic Change. Philanthropy has been able to move into the real time web, too. What do you have to share?
