Since the earthquake, www.univisionhaiti.com has been providing the latest news, videos and photos on disaster relief efforts, as prominent Hispanic stars and personalities post messages and their own words of kindness on the site. Users are also sending online donations to the American Red Cross through a dedicated site the Red Cross has provided exclusively for Univision.com.

Added fanlisting page for the site. Click the image above or click here to visit it (also available in the site navigation above).

What is a fanlisting? According to this site:

A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject.

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.

Enjoy!

Shakira is the main promoter of a concert for victims of natural disasters in Haiti this week. Miguel Bosé, Alejandro Sanz, David Bisbal, Thalía, Gloria Estefan, Chayanne, and some other celebrities are joining forces with the Colombian, to join efforts, sponsoring and staging the show to be held in Miami, before the month ends. It is a plausible work of the famous for helping the victims of this natural disaster, which has demonstrated violencce, misery and neglect to our Caribbean brothers. It is fair to paraphrase Thalía in Twitter: “Probamos el oro en el fuego, distinguimos a nuestros amigos en la adversidad. Sócrates… Seamos amigos en oración, corazón y ayuda de Haití/We tested the gold in the fire, we distinguish our friends in adversity. Socrates … Let’s be friends in prayer, heart and aid to Haiti.”
