Want to know how you can help Haiti? Check out Facebook.
The federal government is using the social media tool to communicate a variety of ways in which it’s responding to the crisis in Haiti and how you can get involved. The State Department’s Facebook page provides contact information for people wanting to donate money, provide assistance or find US citizens in Haiti.
Even the Twitter crowd is getting into the act, tweeting about the USS Carl Vinson which was dispatched to support relief efforts. And Facebook itself has set up a site to help its members find ways to help.
