網軍的力量| The power of internet against catastrophe

The typhoon Morakot brought more than 2000 mm rain in a day and lead to the biggest floods since 50 years, which damaged Taiwan very hard and took hundred of life. I felt very sad and sorry when I saw the pics in the TV. We have tried to do our best to help these people by spending and shipping them sleeping bag, food, water and so on.

During the rescue actions I have realized how big is the power of internet. The internet user have done their best to collect and deliver all the information they got, way more faster than the any other media. Some people have collected the damage allocation in Taiwan.




Some people have sent the informations where the victims are, what they need and where we could deliver these things to them.



The most important connection to spread these information and reach the people all arround Taiwan is: plurk The speed is so amazing that we could almost say that these kind of mini blog the the core of both side communication, very fast and wide. Though plurk is not so easy to user at beginning, but still way more faster than to write an article like this. I think this is just the start of plurk and twitter. Let's see.

God bless Taiwan.
