After Google pitched in with help for the victims of the Boston blast with the People Finder app, it’s time for Twitter to do its bit. On Tuesday, Twitter got into the help mode by floating a donated promoted trend on the site. The #OneBoston hashtag trending worldwide is down to Twitter's efforts and the social network is trying to get more help and support for those affected by the bomb attacks during the Boston Marathon on Monday. This hashtag has been formed to support the newly formed <strong>“The One Fund”. The fund was formed by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino. The fund aims to “help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013.” On Monday afternoon at around 3 pm local time, two explosions ripped through the site of the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring many. The bombs were placed close to the finish line of the marathon, causing chaos as they went off.Click here for full story
