1. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami disaster was documented in an emotional and compelling
way by citizen journalists equipped with mobile phones and cameras. A tsunami eyewitness
participated in the relief efforts by providing SMSs to a blogger in Mumbai, who posted them
on the Internet
Bloggers also used the web to coordinate relief and round-up charities. The World changing
blog reports that within 12 hours after the tsunami disaster, a communications consultant in
India worked with Indian bloggers to create The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami blog
This was a blog for resources, aid donations and volunteer efforts. The blog had over 21,000
visitors and 30 contributors in just 24 hours.
