Here is a blog post from Mashable listing trusted organizations that you can donate to.

CNN iReport: Share this link to your Facebook friends and/or Twitter followers and encourage them to help spread it for anybody trying to get in touch with a loved one in Haiti.

If you know any registered nurses who may be interested in volunteering to provide assistance, please have them visit National Nurses United’s website. Additionally, they can follow @nationalnurses or the #haitiRN hashtag for updated information.

Collection of Twitter accounts you can follow (from http://alltop.com/):
