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?

My colleagues at Ushahidi have already swung into action and are mapping crisis information from Haiti. For those you who arenot familiar with Ushahidi, they have a platform that allows anyone to gather distributed data via SMS, email or web and visualize it on a map or timeline. Tags: maps.

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’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. Indirect Content. Now for indirect content or Mash-ups.

Geoff Livingston, my colleague at Zoetica, has a post in Mashable today on Five Social Media Lessons from the Haiti Earthquake Relief. He describes how with the widespread adoption of social media in the non-profit sector, people’s ability to act and support communities in need like Haiti has only been increased.

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. Those not in Haiti can also use the application as it aggregates news and actions to take. How can we do that?

The images and stories coming out of Haiti are disturbing, upsetting, and unbelievably heartbreaking. Mapping systems are helping pinpoint areas that are hardest hit and mobilize aid. Micro-volunteerism is allowing all of us to "tag" photos of people and help identify missing persons. Photo courtesy of the Red Cross.
