The videos are now coming in showing the devastation to Haiti. Viewing those videos around the web demonstrates the medium’s power to not just inform, but to truly move you. They show the results of the worst earthquake to hit the area in over 200 years — and to a country that was the poorest in the hemisphere before this disaster.

As has been the case in this Internet era, the technology community has risen to the cause and is helping where it can. There are thousands of tweets at the hashtag Haiti (#Haiti). In many languages there’s tweets of fundraising efforts, status on the relief activities, and even a few notices of people in Haiti informing their followers they are alive and fine. I joined a LinkedIn group that was set up to help people find ways to volunteer and assist. Google Earth, along with GeoEye, has before and after satellite views. And, in just the short time since the earthquake, over $7MM has been raised by texting to organizations like the Red Cross. That’s $7MM done in mostly small $5 and $10 increments. But added together, those small amounts make it the largest texting fundraiser in history. One place to text and donate is by texting the word “HAITI” to “90999″ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

As you donate, however you do it, be sure to check if your employer will match your donations. Here at VeriSign we have a program called VeriSign Cares which supports employee volunteerism and giving. I made my donation online and VeriSign will match it to support those organizations helping Haiti recover. I look forward to seeing those videos — of a recovered Haiti.
