I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having
said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because

When a disaster happens, chances are you want to get in touch with your loved
ones as soon as possible, either to tell them that you’re fine or to make
sure they are. To make this easier, Microsoft launched HelpBridge on
Wednesday, a mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. HelpBridge, which
is based on Microsoft’s Windows Azure platform, lets you notify your
friends and family by SMS, email or a message to your Facebook wall that you
are okay when a disaster happens. Those messages can include your location,
too. For the time being, HelpBridge is only available in the U.S. “When
disasters occur, the first thing people who were impacted want to do is to
reach friends and family,” said James Rooney, program manager for Microsoft
Citizenship’s Technology for Good program, in a statement.
