We are all shocked and saddened by the devastation in Haiti. My first reaction, shared by many people around the world, was “What can I possibly to do help?” I’ve been struck by how quickly individuals and groups have used the Internet to organize, to inform, and to get food, money and medical supplies to Haiti. If you would like to learn more and to help, see below for information and ideas.

I wanted to write an e-mail to Yahoo Office, but couldn’t find any address on-line. I want to express my outrage at what your company does preventing free speech in China.
I corresponded with my friend in China and we mentioned some things that are censorefd in China. His account was on Yahoo.cn – and your website prevented him writing me a reply.
Your attitude is repulsive, and yet on this PR blog you are trying to create yor false image as human rights protectors. Bollocks. I am going to erase the Ymail account I had. You will probably not publish this comment – as another example of your free speech policy.
Shame on you!
