i’m chatting for charity
if you’re using windows live messenger, you might have noticed folks in your contact list showing up with this icon preceding their name…
mothership’s instituted an ad-revenue sharing program for the following 9 charities:
unlike a direct hit for money, this seems to serve as a 2 pronged approach…
-
generate revenue for the charities from something people do normally, without a direct cost to those folks.
-
generate awareness about the charities & causes through people’s natural curiosity about the i’m program.
seems pretty win-win-win to me. and it’s dead simple to do:
-
decide which charity you want to support
-
download & install live messenger
-
click tools->options
-
place the text code of your choice into your display name, then save the change
-
*red+u = american red cross
-
*bgca = boys & girsl club of america
-
*naf = national aids fund
-
*mssoc = national multiple sclerosis society
-
*9mil = ninemillion.org
-
*sierra = sierra club
-
*help = stopglobalwarming.org
-
*komen = susan g. komen for the cure
-
*unicef = the us fund for unicef
-
start chatting
personally, i think this kind of program is a good thing. so both the funcave & the funlab are in it, supporting the american red cross.
