A blog with an ungainly name�The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami,
<http://tsunamihelp.blogspot.com/> or SEA-EAT�has emerged as the latest
example of netizens' ability to form fast volunteer organizations.

The blog was started by Peter Griffin, a writer and blogger located in
Bombay, India, soon after the tsunamis hit on Sunday.
"Peter though it up," said Rohit Gupta, one of three bloggers in Bombay
running SEA-EAT. "His idea was that there has to be a clearinghouse of
aid and information for the tsunami victims. There was no such resources
at this time."..."
