For tsunami relief, click on Amazon to donate
As 12:20 pm today, Wednesday December 29 (Swiss time), Amazon has raised $993,430.55 for tsunami relief, thanks to 19'748 donations.
I found out about their fund raising campaign thanks to Jeff Jarvis' Buzzmachine where he links to a post by Glenn Reynolds]

I am absolutely amazed at what I am seeing - if you go to the amazon site you'll see the click to donate. On that next page you see the amount collected and the number of donors.
Now click refresh on your screen.
It is increasing literally every single second. I am totally blown away. In the 5 minutes since I donated it has increased by 1,000 donors.
