GoodSearch
This is something cool I just came across tonight while doing my nightly reading/research. GoodSearch is a search engine that donates 50% of it’s revenues to charities and organizations. All you have to do is choose which charity (which you can change as often as you like) you want to raise money for and then continue searching the internet using GoodSearch - which is backed by Yahoo! – so you are going to get the same awesome search results. Why not begin making a difference (every little bit counts) doing something that you do anyway. [In short, this is Google or Yahoo! with a good cause.] I urge you to check out the site, make this your search engine, download the search toolbar and then let all of your friends and family know about it. We might as well direct the billions of $$$ spent on advertising towards something worthy!
