Social Good on a Search Engine?

Check out www.goodsearch.com. It's a search engine like google, but it donates to charity every time a person uses it. Then post a comment on this blog. Below are some possible topics to blog about:

What do you think of search engine? Does it do all the things you need? Does it do something unique? Does it lack something?

What do you think of combining charity giving with internet usage. Does it matter who chooses the charity? Or all they all equally good? Or does it just feel good to give so easily. Who was today's charity?

i liked it because it was more interactive than google and it donates to a charity but it also had the same set up as google which was nice

I think the idea of when ever you search for something you make money for charity is awesome. You can search for the information you need and also help raise money for charity. Everybody Wins.

I think that that's a good idea that i was unaware of. I tried to enter in a few things one may want to seach for, and basically everything you'd need to know popped up. It's just as good as the ever so popular, Google, yet it also has one more benefit over Google; it helps charity. Overall, it really like GoodSearch.com.

search engines are very useful when searching for something but sometimes something pops up that you werent looking for and it gets annoying. It does most of what i expect from a search engine with the addition of a charity website. It has the charity part which is unqiue you do not expect to find charity stuff on a search engine. It doesnt matter who chooses the charity because if you choose to take your time and help earn money for that organization.It feels really good when u kno that u are giving to charity. Dysautonomia Youth Network of america is the chartiy of the day!!

Search engines help me when I am searching for information on a general topic, it helps narrow down what I am searching for. So search engines do help.

It wasn't bad, but there wasn't as many hits as google or as many search options. I have a hard time believing people won't abuse the website.

This is the same exact thing as google with it's set up but the only different thing is the charity which is a good beacuse it goes to a good cause but it just gets in the way

i think it is a very good thing, because you don't have to spent money, but you donate some for poor people.

I think that using an internet as a chairity can be good and also bad. Yes, its always good thing when money is donated to charities but does this leave room for scams? I believe someone could easily use the same idea and say the money was going to a charity but just as easy the money could be going into their pocket. So i believe that if someone is going to use a search engine as a charity then that person should do their best to make sure they know where their money is going.
