Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble reports a good bad thing:

Red Cross servers under extreme load
Folks from the Red Cross have been leaving me messages all day. I'm gonna try to get through tomorrow, but they say they are seeing traffic levels they've never seen before. If you can't get through to donate money, keep trying. We have more than 100 employees working on their infrastructure, often under trying circumstances. That's to say the least. It's not a Microsoft deal either. Lots of other companies are helping out in the relief effort. We need to work on this one together. An entire region is in deep pain and will take months of work to get back into any working state.
If you're at the Red Cross, we're cheering you on. You're heros in my book. Anything we can do to help, let us know.

Hopefully the server traffic is an indication of unprecedented donations and not just lookyloos. If you're having trouble donating keep trying.

If Red Cross servers are out of action, try Amazon.con who has it set up so you can donate direct from its site.
