i'm making a difference
If you're using Windows Live Messenger, check this out. You can help your favorite charity just by chatting with your friends online!
"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. We've set no cap on the amount we'll donate to each organization. The sky's the limit."
"There's no charge, so join now and put our money where your mouth is." :-$
How do you participate? Well, first you need to have Windows Live Messenger 8.1. If you don't, you can download it here.
Once you have that, just modify your Display Name to include one of the following codes (in red) at the end:
*red+u American Red Cross

*mssoc National MS Society
*9mil ninemillion.org
*sierra Sierra Club
*help StopGlobalWarming.org
*komen Susan G. Komen for the Cure
