Time Out: SocialVibe

Friday 7 November 2008

Hey guys!

Many of my readers are members of a site called SocialVibe. For those who aren't, what would you think about a site that donated money to a charity of your choice simply by having people visit your web page, blog, MySpace, Facebook or anywhere else you can put an HTML code?

That's right - one of the most revolutionary websites of the 21st century is alive, kicking and saving lives.

Here's the deal: You sign up to SocialVibe. If all you want to share with a website is your email and a password for that site - you're okay here. Everything else is optional. When you sign up, you choose from one of the many charities that are supported...From charities for veterans to children to animals to education and disaster relief. After that, you choose a sponsor. Some of the sponsors are Ed Hardy, Jones Soda, MAC, and Calvin Klein.

The sponsors are the ones who will be donating the money to your charity. After you do all that, they'll give you a personalized code and a thing called a 'badge' that you can resize and pick your own colours for. Here's my badge:





If you see that, guess what? You just donated to charity.

Just by looking at this page, my sponsor (Jones Soda) gave my charity (Direct Relief International) some money. And this is how it will work for you. It's not intrusive, it's easy to do and, hey, how many times do you hear a person saying that their MySpace page saved a boys life in Africa? Or maybe donated 150 books to a needy school?

Get your charity on. Sign up with SocialVibe today.

(Oh, and as an extra bonus: everyone who signs up to SocialVibe via any of the links on this blog, SocialVibe automatically donates $1 to Direct Relief International. Rock on!)
