I could see many bloggers around Chennai and other parts of India doing a better job in publishing how people can help those affected by Sunday’s tsunami than the government and other media. The advantage with bloggers is that they do not have any restrictions unlike the standard web sites that need to follow certain guidelines before publishing anything on the web. Great job guys!

Few links where you can contribute are,
The Hindu - The Hindu Relief Fund
