Every distant is dilated & magnified like the pores of the face.

Do a GoodSearch

July 29th, 2008

I’ve been using this web searching service called GoodSearch. It’s like any other search engines (it’s powered by Yahoo!), but every time you search, you can donate money to a charity of your choice! I always told myself “o, I’ll donate to x charity once I have enough money” but that day never comes 0_o So, this is so simple & yet you know you’re doing something good for a cause that you want to help. Too bad it only works for participating non-profits in the US. I hope someday that they’ll expand to other countries. Ooo .. you can also shop online from participating online stores & GoodSearch will donate a percentage of the purchase price to a charity of your choice :-D GoodSearch: You Search...We Give!

As featured in the NY Times.
