From various Tsunami related articles:

"We are in the middle of a fundamental shift from mass media to the personal media of computers and the Internet, and charitable giving is a logical progression."
- Paul Saffo, director of the Silicon Valley-based Institute for the Future.

"Technology has had a huge impact on our ability to disseminate information about what we're doing."
- Kara Bunte, Red Cross spokeswoman.

"This flow of news from one man in the street to another certainly fosters a spirit of community, where any bit of news is better than no news."

"Basically, society's response to disaster relief is being changed fundamentally by the Internet."
- John Hartman, vice president of client services for Kintera.
