Disaster relief from donating bloggers

We had a scary day yesterday as a very close friend of us is on vacation in Sri Lanka. Luckily it turned out that she was in the middle of the country and was unaffected by the disaster. I was wondering what we can do to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunamis when I came across this post by Greg Hughes

"This is the right time to stop what you normally do, get out of your little digital world that you assume is all-defining and all-encompassing (it’s not, really) and come back to reality...Very real people are experiencing very real pain, and you can do your part to help them recover."

Nick Bradbury is donating what he earns from TopStyle and FeedDemon to the International Red Cross. I know it is not much, but I will donate what I get from Google AdSense in December from my blogs Crap And Crapability, Cool Or What and /egilh to the International Red Cross.

I hope more bloggers follow the example of Dan Gilmore and donate what they can to help, or let Scob know if they have other suggestions for helping.
