NICE Assignment: Switch to GoodSearch

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I was pretty lazy, which was awesome. I had some relaxing time reading through my copy of GOOD Magazine, which should probably be renamed Freakin' Amazing Magazine because it's far better than "good". If you haven't subscribed yet, I highly recommend it because it's worth it for the information graphics alone.

Since it's Monday, that means it's time for a NICE Assignment! I don't know about you, but I google like crazy. Aside from all the online shopping...cough cough, I mean RESEARCH I have to do, I'm always searching for images or new topics to post about. I can't even imagine how many times I've used google in the last month.

I think it might be time for a change.

Today's Assignment: Switch to GoodSearch

I was checking my stats the other day and I saw a referral came from someone who had searched for Operation NICE using GoodSearch, so I decided to check it out. GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo! and makes a donation to your selected cause every time you search for something. When you think about the number of times you search per day, well that can really add up!

From the GoodSearch site:
We all have a cause we care about - whether it's finding a cure for cancer, saving the environment, finding homes for abandoned pets or so many other worthwhile endeavors. But what we don't all have is the time or money to support these efforts as much as we'd like. So, what if we could raise money for our favorite charities and schools by doing something we do every day — searching the Internet?

The best part about it is how easy they make it. Initially I was thinking about how I typically use the google search bar located in my browser toolbar, but then I discovered that they provide a way to add GoodSearch into your toolbar!

I'm making the switch today. Will you join me?
