There is a fantastic story in the January 30 edition of the Dallas Morning News about how social media has played a huge role in the Haiti earthquake relief effort...in a good way, and in a not-so-good way.
The piece by Theodore Kim notes that just as quickly as news spreads of the miraculous rescues each moment, the same can be said of erroneous information and scams. Social media can be a blessing and its own worst enemy.
