Yesterday morning, Hurricane Gustav made landfall on Louisana's southern coast. Like much of America, you may have paid close attention to whether the devastation and logistical breakdowns of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita three years ago would be repeated.

You may not have known that there's a nonprofit organization using technology to connect those who want to help with those who can deliver the help to the impacted communities. The Aidmatrix Foundation -- launched in 2000 and established as a nonprofit organization in 2004 -- connects donors, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations in an online virtual network, so that aid and information can be organized and accessed in a more effective way.

The Aidmatrix is in full swing with Hurrican Gustav. You can find out more or donate to hurricane relief efforts through the Aidmatrix Network.
