I've had some posts in pipeline following up on social media metrics and the Chase Community Giving Contest second phase, but wanted to share these two stories from Haiti from on the ground and a bird's eye view. I'm going back to Haiti in the next few days and need help to give hands-on help to our kids and the townspeople.

I have a guest post up on the NTEN blog discussing some of the ways social media was put into action as soon as the earthquakes struck in Haiti: When disaster strikes, we want information as soon as possible and we want to help just as quickly. How can we do that?

Like many people, I donated both on the Web and for the first time via text to the Red Cross. Here you will find opportunities to donate your tech skills to Haiti. Ushahidi , a crisis mapping platform, has been providing updates on its work crowdsourcing information on the ground. Tweet from kateatyrownrisk.

Whether we look at mapping tools, fundraising, or missing person systems, the social media response to the January earthquakes in Haiti all leverage the powerful technology we can hold in our hands: our mobile phones. Reports of violence and of peace efforts could be placed via the web or mobile phone. How can we do that?

I’m joining a panel to talk about the response for support after the Haiti earthquakes last year. The first example is Ushahidi – originally designed as a tool for mapping reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election unrest in 2008. Examples from Haiti. Now for indirect content or Mash-ups.
