Google activates Person Finder to help locate loved ones affected by the Boston Marathon blasts

In the aftermath of the Boston blasts today, Google has launched its Google Person Finder tool for Boston to help aid people find each other. The helpful tool was first activated during the Haiti earthquake in 2010. When you log into the page, you will be shown two options. The first says “I’m looking for someone” and will help you find out if there is any information about a loved one you are searching for. If there is any positive information about the person you are searching for, a message that says “Status: Someone has received information that this person is alive" will be shown on screen. You can then click to see where the information came from. Click here for full story
