Donating to The Mises Institute just Became Easier, and Less Expensive!

.

Microsoft, in order to compete with the almighty google search engine has set up a charity of sorts, or rather a way to donate to the charity you choose. The best part is, you can choose the Mises Institue! just go to www.searchandgive.com   its pretty easy to sign up, you'll want to look for Ludwig von Mises Institue under charities. and from then on, everytime you click the search button, microsoft will donate $0.01 to the Mises Institute (up to $5.00 a month)!  Not a whole lot sure, but if you're going to use a search engine, this might be enough to switch over to www.search and give. thats a potential for $60.00 a year to the Mises Institue per person!

Microsoft was pretty clever to try to get market share from Google this way.

Google has already built its "do no evil" image among web-masters through a lot of giveaways (especially in IT, where they have a lot of student programs and grants throughout the world: Google Summer of Code, Google Code Jam, Google Anita Borg Scholarship, Google Pizza Ambassador, and they sponsor all kinds of projects and events).

Microsoft, on the other hand, it seems, has decided a more direct approach, and  betting on the actual users. Has they gain market-share in the search field, I'm sure they'll try to beat Google Ad-sense... Google has made some billion dollars every year, so clearly there is place for competition which will be benefit everyone involved, from the users to IT professionals. :)
