Blogging for Disaster Relief
September 4th, 2005

Andy Carvin called on Smartmobs Thursday to question ‘Why haven’t we see a Katrina-related blog of TsunamiHelp-like proportions? You would think that the US, the birthplace of blogging, would have been able to catalyze a who’s who of bloggers to coordinate information sharing, just as TsunamiHelp did.

[Thanks Andy !! Due to a technical problem Smartmobs unfortunately posts this 48 hours after you submitted the item].

Andy added; When you’ve posted to your blog, be sure to include a link to this Technorati tag about the International Blogging for Disaster Relief Day.
