Subject: [siac] Searching the Haiti disaster zone from thousands of miles away - washingtonpost.com
The very best of "social mapping" in the internet age. From TFA, "The site is www.Ushahidi.com , and it allows users to submit eyewitness accounts or other relevant information for disaster zones via e-mail, text, or Twitter -- and then visualize the frequency of these events on a map."
