Those that know me know that I'm not a big "tech" guy. But I've been reading a lot of stories after the earthquake that ripped apart Haiti that a lot of people are making their donations through what they call a "mobile giving campaign". They are calling it a new trend for charitable giving which I think is great. As of last Friday night they reportedly raised over $8 million using the new texting campaign. That's a good start and good sign for families in Haiti that need our help, generosity and prayers.
