FS: There are those who would argue that many people who gave $10 text donations to Haiti relief might well have given larger gifts online if they hadn't been presented with an opportunity to give an easy, though smaller and limited, gift via phone.

JK: There is no question that given the same type of publicity and opportunity, many donations far in excess of $10 would have been received. Perhaps the euphoria over the volume of donations masked the limited amounts given. Every day there are stories in the blogosphere extolling the great swell in giving to Haiti (and to some extent, the paucity of giving 
to Chile).
