A friend of mine showed this to me today.

it seems the yahoo search engine except everytime you search something a donation is given to some charity that you decide on...

hey I dont mind it that much if its pretty much the same thing as google/yahoo.

if you feel helpin somebody out just use

www.goodsearch.com to search if you feel like.

and if you cant think of a charity then use the search of redwings. they are some group fighting the slaughter of horses or another (friends idea)

thanks for makin a differnce

thats a pretty nice search engine.. for the donations and all. Now google has to do that. It would help a lot of people.

or a portion of the revenue made by google ads and/or search could be donated to a charity. not much but it would add up with all the people who use google each day, week, and month

google actually do have a side company called google.org that runs a number of significant charity and not for profit schemes

this is an intresting thing, to earn money for charity per use - I'm sure it'll be open to massive abuse, if you want to donate to charity, just run an auto-player against it, maybe make a file of random searches - like take a dictionary file and make random 1-4 word combinations of them - set that running, after a few hours check to see how much you've donated LOL

I made a post about that too. Kind of. It is an excellent idea. I put I nmy school and searched for some stuff. I doubt it worked becaus eit was specific but my school need lots of financial help

Im sticking with Google. They make so much money that they would have to donate some sort of amount to charites.

well they said the check for "fradulant searches" so I dunno if they would catch that kind of thing. but if somebody just searched for penis 100 times I dont think they would donate anything

hydrogen is currently writting the script himself and the formula to estimate how much donations google would generate.

I would only do searches that are serious but then again I would probably just stick to google
