Best $10 I Ever Spent: Supporting Haiti

Jan 14, 2010 9:29 AM

Last Night, I used a beta version of Jack Dorsey's (co-founder, Twitter), latest toy, "Square" to give a $10 donation to Reshma Saujani's campaign. They are currently supporting the efforts in Haiti. A full post on the event to come. Below, find out the latest on how you can get in on the action. Every little bit counts. Even $10.

I tried out the Red Cross Text thing last night...really easy! When you text "Haiti", they message back a confirmation, and even give you the option of getting text updates on their relief efforts. Anyone tried the other texting options?
