How to Help A Good Cause While Using MSN Messenger

If you're like me, you want to have a positive impact on the people that surround you and the world you live in. Miscrosoft through its Live Messenger service allows each and everyone of us to do just that. Microsoft has commited to share a portion of the ad revenues generated via Windows Live Messenger, so every time you start a conversation and ads are displayed, when any money is generated from those ads, a portion of that money will go to an organization of your choice. At the moment Live Messenger only supports the following organizations;

• American Red Cross
• Boys and Girls Clubs of America
• The Humane Society
• National AIDS Fund
• National Multiple Sclerosis Society
• ninemillion.org
• Sierra Club
• StopGlobalWarming.org
• Susan G. Komen for the Cure
• UNICEF

In order to participate in the program you must have Windows Live Messenger version 8.1, and add code to your user name on Live Messenger. Once you've done that your screename will have a smal "I'M" icon designating you as a participant in the program. For those of you with a website or blog, you can add an icon to your site that promotes the use of this software to support these causes. If you'll notice to the bottom right of my page I have placed an icon there to support these initiatives. See the example below.

Thank you for supporting these organizations.
