Yahoo has come up with a way to mix social networking with charities andnon-profits. Called Yahoo!For Good, it has partnered with 'charity aggregator' Networkfor Good and launched a personalized Charity Badge - for people to put ontheir websites, social networks or email. To promote the initiative, Yahoo! willmatch the amount raised by the user who generates the largest number ofindividual donations from their personal social network (up to $50,000).
The Charity Badge works by allowing website owners or social network users tocreate and publish a personalized badge (essentially a widget). You can even putit on your email signature. Withthe badge you can set up a link to your favorite charity, so that family, friendsand others in your social network can donate as well. Or you can simply copy thecode for an existing badge, that someone else set up for a charity. Check out the top10 badges to get an idea of how this works.
