全球网民救助海地：你能做什么
As you probably know, Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake last night. (海地当地时间1月12日下午)According to the latest estimates, over 100,000 people may have died and large parts of the island's infrastructure have been destroyed.
Here is a short list of things you can do right now to get help to Haiti. Just watch out for unsolicited emails. Quite a few scammers and spammers are trying to profit from this catastrophe and have set up fake donation sites and are running phishing scams.
Text to Give Money
As Twitter's Evan Williams just noted on the official Twitter blog, giving money to relief organizations has never been easier. All you need is your phone.
- The American Red Cross allows anyone in the U.S. to text HAITI to 90999 as an easy way to donate $10 to the recovery effort. The money is billed to your mobile phone account. According to the latest tally, the Red Cross has already raised over $800,000 through text messages.
- Musician Wyclef Jean's Haiti-focused organization, Yele is also accepting text-message donations. To donate $5, text Yele to 501501 or visit the foundation's Web site.
Of course, all the major relief organizations also have websites and will happily accept your donations. Our friends at Mashable have compiled a good list of worthy organizations.
Update: Google also just announced a new page that allows you to donate to UNICEF and CARE by using a Google Checkout account.

你可能已经听说了，昨晚(海地当地时间1月12日下午)海地遭到了毁灭性地震的袭击。据最新估计，已经有10万多人已经丧生，并且该岛大部分基础设施已经被毁掉。
注意那些来历不明的邮件，小心那些想发灾难财的骗子和垃圾信息制造者。 此外，你能做些什么呢？
通过手机短信捐款
正如Twitter的Evan Williams在Twitter官方博客上所言，捐款给赈灾机构从来都不是轻而易举的事情。你所需要的就是手机。
- 美国红十字会允许所有美国人通过发送短信“HAITI”到“90999”向灾后重建活动捐助10美元。捐款从手机账户中扣除。目前该机构已经通过手机短信得到80万美元捐款。
- 音乐家Wyclef Jean专门为海地创建的机构Yele基金也接受手机短信捐助。发送“Yele”到“501501”或访问该基金网站都可以捐助5美元。
更新: Google刚刚宣布了一个新的捐款页面，你可以通过Google Checkout向联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）和CARE捐款。
保持关注
- 纽约时报: 关注来自红十字会、天主教海外救助服务（Catholic Relief Services）、以及海地网络（InternetHaiti）的消息。
- CNN: 除了和《纽约时报》来源一致的消息外，还包括当地博客和Twitter用户的更新。
- 还有一个一个定期更新的海地博客。
