Searching whilst doing good

Raise money for charity, just by using www.goodsearch.com as your search engine!!!

The bright folks in our Washington office have latched on to an ingenious little development. A search page, powered by Yahoo, has been launched in which you can set your favo(u)rite charity and thereafter every search you conduct through the site results in roughly 1 US cent being donated to that charity. So if you can tear yourself away from Google, which I have done as of today, please go to www.goodsearch.com, set your charity to Five Talents International and use this site frequently. You can even see on the site how much cash is being generated for Five Talents. The sums may look small, but even a few thousand bucks go a long way in our line of work.

(The exact amount donated to charity appears to depend on how much money the site makes from the sum total of all searches through advertising, 50% of which is then divied between the charities according to number of clicks.)
