Hi, I know that the Internet and WWW where significantly utilized for fundraising and relief efforts when the tsunami hit SE Asia. It appears that the Internet is again becoming an important tool for raising funds and distributing relief post Katrina. Is anyone aware of any research done and published on the use of the Internet for charity and relief efforts?
