Google Person Finder locates people in Turkey now

A moment of silence for those who succumbed to the earthquake in Turkey – and at press time, the death toll stands at 200 plus and will most definitely rise in the coming days if efforts to rescue trapped people under all the rubble and carnage are not expedited. Nice to know that Internet search giant Google has just launched their Person Finder service in Turkish so that those living in the eastern cities of Turkey will at least have a tool to locate and track down their friends and loved ones.

Basically, Google Person Finder enables a user to post information concerning victims, or to follow up on their relatives and friends who are currently residing at sites affected by the earthquake. To date, Google Person Finder also saw action when earthquakes struck Haiti and Japan.
