Homepage with a Heart

My friend Nicole told me about a new site alled Goodtree.com. It is a home page and search engine that uses the pennies these sites get when their users “click through” to other sites to donate to a set group of nonprofits.

Each user clicks on a list of pre-screened charities (and users can suggest ones as well.) The money you generate from clicking is evenly distributed among the charities that you choose.

Goodtree is very easy to use, has simple step-by-step instructions for making the site your home page in different browsers, and adding your bookmarks, etc.

Goodtree has just recently launched, so it’s hard to tell how it’s doing, but certainly seems worth clicking on and sharing with your social network.
