Japan quake, tsunami 2011: Donate via iTunes and Google Checkout
Two tech giants making Japan quake and tsunami donations easier.
Google and Apple are trying their best to donate for Japan victims easier.
Google and Apple, two companies that are rivals when it comes to mobile operating system (Android and iOS), are both trying their very best to help the victims of the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami.
Google, with its popular internet search engine, created a page that is specially designed to feature some of the important things about the 2011 Japan quake and tsunami.
From Japanese emergency dial numbers, to news, Google’s crisis response page created by Google.org is one of the most important page on the internet today. Apparently, Google also included an instant donation field, powered by the Mountain View, California-based company’s Google Checkout.
If you’re planning to help the Japan quake and tsunami victims via Google, you must create a Google Checkout account, or you can also create an account by using your current Google Mail/Gmail account. According to Google, “donation must be at least 100 yen, up to 25,000 yen,” and added that all donations “will go to the Red Cross in Japan.” To donate with the help of Google, click here.
Another California based company, Apple inc, is making donations easy with its iTunes software. iTunes is the place where iOS-powered devices and Mac owners buy apps and music. The minimum donation allowed is $5, while $200 is the maximum. Apparently, you can repeat donating. You can start donating via iTunes by clicking this link. According to Apple, all donations will go to American Red Cross.
We’re praying for you Japan.
