The recent disastrous Haiti earthquake has left a lot of hapless people in its wake - and it is up to us to help them. The earthquake that claimed a staggering 200,000 lives has left more than 250,000 people injured, and around 1.5 million homeless. Though relief efforts are going on, adequate help hasn't reached the survivors yet.

Haiti campaign, with SocialTwist bearing all the infrastructure costs. You can know more details and register for your campaign by clicking here.

Breast Cancer Awareness - By revealing bra color?!
Yes folks, you can increase awareness about breast cancer - by revealing the color of your bra on your Facebook status :-|
God knows how this fad came into being, but I personally feel this is insulting to people - in the sense that people are updating their status message to titillate, rather than for any other reason. Some examples I found in my own Facebook page - black and grey zebra stripes, bright red, magenta, and this one from a humor-loving soul -Â commando! Believe me, for families with breast cancer victims, this is simply not funny. Â And how exactly is this helping, anyway? Apart from garnering a few "XYZ and 10 other people like this!"s, some rather questionable comments, ooohs, LOLs, and other irritating compliments, this trend does nothing.
Please, gurls - Trends are good, being "in" is good, but hey, do not follow every Tom, Dick, and Harry trend that comes your way! Have fun - I am a firm believer of having fun anytime, anywhere - but no, not like this. If people are so very keen on helping, then do something worthwhile.
And no, that doesn't include letting the world know the color of your undies, thank you very much.
