Internet's tsunami sites show its reach and limits
The Internet proves a powerful link during the Southeast Asia tsunami but yields limited, indirect information for missing relatives. Lisa Bauman posted notices on multiple sites seeking her brother Thomas Bauman Jr and his family, then learned all were safe by phone. Online platforms also became a major channel for private relief donations, with Amazon.com directing over $12 million to the American Red Cross by Friday.
