IM to help a worthy cause
Microsoft Windows Live Messenger has launched a new program that will allow you to help a charity of your choice (from a list of very worthy charities) by doing something that you do every day: IMing your friend, co-workers and family. The program is very simple; you add a small code to your display name in Live Messenger based on the charity you want to contribute to. I selected the American Red Cross for all the great work they do in times of great need like natural disasters and every day needs.
