I’ve been compiling a little list of some ways you can help online. There is a lot going on, so if you find one I haven’t mentioned, leave a comment so I can add it.

Flickr Auction – the popular photo sharing site is holding an auction for prints of some donated photo’s. There’s quite a few reflecting some very talented people. If you’ve got some space for a photo and want to help out, this is a great way.
eBay is using PayPals to collect money for United Way.
Amazon is collecting through it’s “Honor System” making it easy to donate to the Red Cross through your Amazon.com account. Google is pointing to this.
Yahoo is also collecting for the Red Cross through it’s website.
MSN (Microsoft) is collecting money for the Red Cross.
Apple made it easy to donate through it’s iTunes service (link opens in iTunes).
Comcast notes a dozen charities which you can donate to (some accept online, some don’t).
WritersCafe.net has been pushed rather extensively by Fark.com
Major League Baseball (MLB) will be holding collections on September 7th (or a day of a teams choosing for teams away on that day).
AOL is linking to a bunch of charities through NetworkForGood.com.

Feel free to add.

Today is International Blogging for Disaster Relief Day (Andy Carvin’s Idea). I think it’s rather appropriate.

For those wanting up to date information on what’s going on, check fark.com which has a few slow loading, but information filled threads from people gathering news from all sources.

I think I’ll just leave it with a link to the Red Cross as it’s rather fitting.

Warning: anyone who gets political here may be spanked in a way that would likely be deemed “to far” by most, so I’d recommend avoiding it (I haven’t decided exactly how, but I have been known to be downright rotten when people cross that line). This is not the place for debating what politicians have said/done (or not said/done) in regards to this event.
