Red Cross Texting Campaign For Haiti Tops $22 Million
From this morning's Earlybird:
• "The American Red Cross has received more than $22 million in U.S. text-message donations for Haiti earthquake relief efforts, far outpacing the charity's previous record of $400,000 for emergency relief using similar technology," the Washington Post reports.
• "President Obama on Monday pushed the button on his first-ever tweet -- a message about his visit to the headquarters of the American Red Cross to thank workers for their efforts in responding to the devastating earthquake in Haiti," the New York Times reports.
• "International journalists in China said on Monday that their Google e-mail accounts have been hacked in attacks like the ones against human rights activists, which last week led the search giant to consider pulling out of the country," AP reports.
