Charity is a positive thing, do you agree? If you don´t think so, I would have to kindly ask you to please leave this thread. No hard feelings ok?
Now, for those you you who think charity is not only positive, but necessary to help the less fortunate and have MSN messenger, please take a quick look:
i’m is a new initiative from Windows Live™ Messenger. Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program’s advertising revenue with some of the world’s most effective organizations dedicated to social causes.
Just add * and the abbreviation of the institutions below, in your name.
*red+u - American Red Cross *bgca - Boys & Girls Clubs of America *naf - National AIDS Fund *hsus - The Humane Society of the United States *9mil - ninemillion.org *mssoc - National Multiple Sclerosis Society *sierra - Sierra Club *unicef - UNICEF *help - StopGlobalWarming.org *komen - Susan G. Komen for the Cure

That sounds like a good initiative. but a "portion" of their revenue, how much are we talking about, is it only pennies compared to how much the NGOs' need? or will this make a difference? I mean microsoft arn't just doing this to be nice... they have to get something out of it themselves...
I'm not against charity in any way! but I would like to know how big of a difference this will make combined.

Stang, I actually don´t have the exact numbers for you, since I don´t work for microsoft nor the NGO´s who are receiving donations. I just thought it would be nice to tell people that even if it´s a little bit, anyone can help by simply typing a few letters.

That´s great to hear! It´s a great innitiative. I guess many people have it and don´t know what it´s about, they just like the logo!
