Now in the aftermath, the Internet is stepping up to the plate again. Call it instant philanthropy. The Net has become a popular and efficient e- middleman, linking donors and victims of the attacks. The American Red Cross got three donations per minute last Tuesday through its Web site. When the final dollar count is tallied officials say the sum will be a record-setter. Amazon managed to raise more than $5 million in donations when it changed its home page to host a Red Cross fundraising site. AOL and Yahoo have hauled in $15 million between them.
