Facebook corporate-communications associate Malorie Lucich wrote a post on the Facebook Blog discussing how the social-networking site’s News Feed enabled her to follow two earthquakes — a minor one near Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., and the devastating one that hit Haiti.

Lucich discussed Facebook efforts by news organizations including ABCNews.com, France 24, The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, CBS News, CNBC, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, and USA Today.

Highlights from Lucich’s post:
