03/29/2005 01:53 AMYes, this may be off topic. Regardless, it needs to be said.
Apparently there has been another quake that hit the Indian Ocean off
the coast of Sumatra. It had a force of 8.7 and there are come really
valid concerns about another tsunami being something that could be in
their near future. Thankfully the U.S. Geological Survey has the
technology to measure and hopefully ‘predict’ whether
there could be more to be concerned about….

Indian Ocean earthquake: If you haven't looked yet, Wikipedia is
— once again — doing an insane job keeping track of
developments in the Southeast Asia tsunami disaster.
Currently on the page is scads of information about what caused the
tsunami, what a tsunami is, what the currect effects are, what every
country is going to help, and what phone numbers and URLs you need if
you want to assist. It's an amazing level of detail and it should be
your first stop for information, rather than any of the news
outlets.
We've previously raved about Wikipedia's abilities in this respect
with Hurricane Ivan, the Madrid Bombings, and the 2004 Olympics.

Xeni Jardin:
John Schwartz wrote an insightful piece for the
New York
Times this week about the role blogs play in covering and
responding to the tsunami disaster. I was interviewed for the piece,
but the people who really have something interesting and valuable to
say are the ones over there, on the ground -- and the folks rolling up
their geek sleeves to assist.
From relaying first-person accounts (like Sanjay/Morquendi's SMS reports in Sri Lanka), to kick-starting relief efforts
(tsunamihelp.blogspot.com,
and the
Post-Tsunami Reconnect project), to questioning media coverage (
Ethan Zuckerman's post about Myanmar), there's a lot going on here
The amateur-shot image shown here ran in the NYT story. Snip:
"At sumankumar.com, Nanda
Kishore, a contributor, offered photos and commentary from Chennai,
India: 'Some drenched till their hips, some till their chest, some all
over and some of them were so drenched that they had already stopped
breathing. Men and women, old and young, all were running for lives.
It was a horrible site to see. The relief workers could not attend to
all the dead and all the alive. The dead were dropped and the half
alive were carried to safety.' His postings included a photo of a body
on a sidewalk with a buffalo walking by. 'It now seems prophetic," he
wrote, "for according to the Hindu mythology, Lord Yama (the god of
death) rides on a buffalo.'"
Link to story.
Fox News did a segment on this subject yesterday. I spoke with anchor
Jon Scott about some of the blogosphere reports we've been pointing to
from BoingBoing in recent days. Here are video clips of the Fox News
segment: Real, Windows (Many thanks, Mike Outmesguine, for TiVoing and
kindly hosting.)
There have been a number of related stories out in the past 24 hours
in the Wall Street Journal (Link, sub required), Libération
(France) (Link), the Inquirer
(UK) (Link), and AP (Link)
. (Thanks to BB readers including Jean-Luc for pointers).

On the NPR program "Day to Day" this week, I join NPR's Alex Chadwick
to discuss the role of blogs in responding to the tsunami disaster.
From first-person accounts, to amateur videoblogging, to tech aid, to
fundraising coordination, to "citizen journalism" (nod to
Dan Gillmor) that sometimes
pokes holes in official government-isssue accounts -- we explore
online voices around the world.

their local affiliate WBUR for the
first time -- so, consider this a shout-out to Boston.
