Search for tsunami survivors goes online

Web sites worldwide plead for news of lost relatives, friends

The Power to Connect

Occasionally, I'm dramatically reminded of the true power of the Internet to bring people together, the reason why I do what I do. And the story of a father and son reunited after the tsunami when a relative spotted the child's photo posted on the Web by a Thai hospital stands as a glowing example of what good information the Internet can provide. You can read the story for yourself at MSNBC's web site.

Yes, the Internet can be a confusing, even dangerous place. Not all the information found there is true and accurate. But beneath it all, there is an enormous power to connect people who might not otherwise be connected, a power I have seen and believed in from the beginning. I remember a lengthy conversation in 1999 with a professor at Regis University about how excited I was to be involved in the Internet because of its power to connect, a power so strong I could feel it. This is what gets me jazzed; this is what feeds me; this is why I love what I do.

Now as we all grieve for the victims and families of this unbelievable disaster, I find some comfort, however small, knowing that the Internet, my industry, is helping to reunite loved ones, providing an outlet to express thoughts and feelings, soliciting donations to relief efforts, communicatiing stories of sorrow and heroism, and offering hope in the global recovery.
