Help Hurricane Sandy Victims with a Simple Tweet

Patch is donating $1 for every tweet, up to $125,000, to help victims of Hurricane Sandy rebuild.

With nearly 900 local websites, Patch is both a local and national company, and we understand that being part of the community means helping our neighbors in times of crisis.

To that end, Patch has launched a campaign to help victims of Hurricane Sandy by pledging to donate $1 for every tweet on Twitter.com tagged #PatchRebuilds, up to $125,000.

You can help friends and family affected by the storm on the East Coast that has left millions reeling by visiting the Patch Rebuilds site and composing a tweet in the name of Mercer Island Patch, including the hashtag and the name of the town you have ties to (if you don't have direct ties, you can visit the map of Patch towns and pick one, too!) The donations will go to AmeriCares disaster relief.

Thanks for helping.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
