Good Search
My latest obsession is GoodSearch.com. It still baffles me that I can raise money for an organization simply by searching the internet using goodsearch.com as my search engine. It’s powered by Yahoo!, so I’m not getting weird results, or no results at all, and a penny or so for every search I do goes directly to the organization I want to support.
I’m so excited about Good Search that I sent out an reminder to my co-workers today reminding them to use Good Search when they surfed the net for work. In the last month or so, we’ve raised $2.68 or so. That certainly doesn’t seem like much, but that’s only with seven or so people actually using Good Search for us on any semblance of a consistent basis. Imagine what that total could be even if only a couple hundred of the nearly 700 current active supporters our modest-sized non-profit used Good Search when they used the internet! I can’t even imagine the possibilities of what Good Search could do for an organization that really capitalizes on its potential.
