Facebook Search Goes Crazy With Haiti Updates

Do a quick search on Facebook for “Haiti” and you’ll see the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of users rapidly updating their statuses expressing their empathy toward the people of Haiti, following the country’s catastrophic earthquake. In comparison to last week’s California quake which most people slept through, the volume of updates passing through Facebook is phenomenal.

It’s clear that the Haiti quake is devastating and by tomorrow, updates from the country will provide greater insight into the magnitude of the catastrophe.
