Haiti Earthquake News Prompts Internet Marketing Agency West Palm Beach and Miami Florida To Help

Jan. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Due to the lack of conventional methods of communication since the devastating earthquake, social media West Palm Beach and Miami, Florida has been instrumental in relaying news and personal information from Haiti.

Because of the unprecedented devastation in Haiti, many news organizations weren't able to get information or pictures out right away. That had many turning to social media to find out if family and friends were safe.  Twitter feeds gave an impressive picture of the ongoing earthquake and resulting Haiti earthquake news.  Missionaries shared some of the first images of the people and conditions after the quake.

The massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake leveled much of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, and took out electricity and most lines of communication. For many, social media was the only way to communicate with loved ones and share the devastation throughout the country.  Conditions in the rural areas outside of Port-au-Prince are still largely unknown.

Web sites like Twitter and its photo-sharing site Twitpic gave the first glimpses of the destruction throughout Port-au-Prince.  Though amateur, the first videos were shot through cell phones and uploaded to the Internet.

Less than 24 hours after the quake, dozens of Facebook groups were set up as ways for people to get in touch with charities.  Even organizations like the Red Cross were "tweeting" information on Twitter about how to make donations -- information that was "re-tweeted" hundreds of times.

With so much devastation, the social networking sites might be  one of the most reliable sources of communication for some time.  The vast Social Media West Palm Beach and Miami, Florida properties have left some people wondering how it is possible to efficiently keep up with them all and stay current especially considering the pace of the current Haiti earthquake news.
