Google.com and Google.co.uk have unusually featured a link on their front pages 
to highlight “ways to help with tsunami relief.”
The prominent text links to a page
which links to Google’s and other organisations’ news coverage of the disaster, 
together with links to seven sites which accept online donations for the relief 
efforts of organisations involved. The UK’s Disaster Emergency Committee’s emergency
appeal is not listed.
