Use Windows Liveâ„¢ Messenger and Make a Difference

posted in Contribute, Internet, Xclusive |

im.png is a new initiative from Windows Live™ Messenger. Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations dedicated to social causes.

i’m is about making a difference. Not in a huge expensive way, not in a time-consuming way. But in a simple, effective way.
 
Simply Superb ! … How does it work ? 

  1. Use Messenger 8.1
  2. Add the i'm emoticon im.png to your display name by entering the code of the cause you would like to support (note: I suggest adding it at the end of your name so you still appear in the correct alphabetic order in your contacts list)

  3. Send and receive IMs
  4. A portion of the advertising revenue generated by your usage of Messenger will be donated to your cause. So the more IMs you send and receive the more money will be donated to your cause.

note: currently the donation only applies to Windows Live Messenger users in the United States. If you are in the US and you are IMing with a contact in another country your IM activity will be counted towards the donation. 

Im's Text Code and Cause :
*red+u American Red Cross
*bgca Boys & Girls Club
*naf National AIDS Fund
*mssoc National Multiple Sclerosis Society
*9mil ninemillion.org
*sierra Sierra Club
*help StopGlobalWarming.org
*komen Susan G. Komen for the Cure
*unicef The US fund for UNICEF
 
 
 Once you've signed up, every ad you see in your message window contributes to the grand total we send to the causes.

Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations(listed above) dedicated to social causes.

This is not a joke like the Bill Gates mail giving away millions of dollars to those who forward that email …!!
