Can Social Media Save Lives? Ask Canada.

In Canada social media is becoming something more than just a buzz word; it is becoming an outlet to encourage blood donation.  Thank Your Donor is a social media site that allows users to share stories of how blood donations saved their lives.  The stories offer a place to publicly thank the donors and ask for people to continue to do so.

Will this site revolutionize the world?  Probably not.  Will it get more people to donate blood? Possibly.  Is it more innovative than setting up a table in a mall?  Definitely.
