Measuring the Power of Social Media Through Tragedy

A while back, I wrote about the power of social media and how tragic events often offer a great chance to measure the reach of social. Since then, there have been numerous other natural disasters, such as the earthquake in China on April 14th and the earthquake in Peru that caused so much damage.

Maybe I was mistaken. Perhaps, the generosity witnessed during the Haitian earthquake was dried up in one event. Why haven’t we seen the same response from the Red Cross or any other aid organizations utilizing the same methods used so effectively during the Haitian event.

Check out my original post and let me know your thoughts.
