New Orleans seeks text-message donations

According to USA Today, New Orleans, still struggling from Hurricane Katrina, is soliciting text message donations to help it defray costs of the event.

"City officials are working with PayPal to raise cash via text-message and online giving.

The Text to Give program is to retroactively pay for the costs; it began Feb. 8 and is set to run for a year. The initial goal is to raise $1 million."
