© NASA Goddard Photo and VideoGoogle has put YouTube to the disposal of Japanese people who are trying to find their missing friends and relatives. Videos of people missing in the disaster were put up on YouTube. These short videos, less than a minute long, were taken at the various shelters.
The YouTube 'Person Finder' tool was tweaked to make 'YouTube Missing Person Finder' tool which is being used to find missing Japanese people. More than 330,000 records were entered in the YouTube 'Missing Person Finder'.
Google official said that a large number of Google employees were spending one-fifth of their time creating tools that could help the Japanese people. Google has created various multi-lingual pages offering useful information related to relief operations and is also posting lists of shelters on its photo-sharing site Picasa.
