The generous donation was announced this morning on Google's blog. It's being made in conjunction with the search giant's continued efforts to encourage and support your donations to organizations. As we reported this morning, Google is also providing a satellite view of the damage in Haiti using Google Earth. It's also using YouTube as a means to collect and share video from Haiti and expand the outreach.
Google's efforts, combined with text message donations to the Red Cross — which now total more that $3 million — show the power of social media to inspire action, and the significance of individuals and companies pulling together to support the hundreds of thousands of people in need in Haiti.
