Simpsons site now tsunami page
p2pnet.net News:- Valerio Natale’s site used to be for The Simpsons. Now, however, it’s dedicated to helping people find relatives and others who have gone missing following the Indian Ocean tsunami.
Two Italian holidaymakers have already been found, thanks to postings on his tuttosimpsons page, Reuters quotes Natale, 14, as saying, going on:
“I was paging through the newspaper and saw lots of ads from people looking for relatives. I asked myself, ‘Why not make a free site that can help everybody?’ So I made a free site, which used to be dedicated to the famous American cartoon family, the Simpsons.”
The site lists the names and ages of those missing, email addresses and phone numbers of worried friends and relatives, a link for photos of the missing, plus useful phone numbers such as Italian consulates, and hotels in Thailand, says the story.

i know that there are people being effected by the tsunami but you got to understand something. you have to help your own people before others. for instance we have people who are dying of diseases and are homeless and nothing is being done to help. but here we are giving 35 million dollars to people we dont know when we can help the ones we do.
