Andrew Sullivan highlighted what has to be among the easiest ways to donate to the Haiti relief effort:

The State Department offers the simplest way to donate ($10) to the relief effort.
The State Department expands a little more:
text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill;
Impressive, no? And it appears to work, as I had no problem donating over SMS.
SMS may be simple, but boy is it powerful. I hope the program can do some serious good.
