Title: Good Search
Post by: SteamGene on August 16, 2007, 06:09:52 PM
There is a "search engine" called Good Search, which is powered by Yahoo.  If you tell it what charity, non-profit, or school you want it to benefit, it will send that organization a check in December based on the number of searches credited to your organization.  There are a few railroad organizations, one of which is the B&O Museum.  I just changed my organizaiton to the B&O, which has not been very active. 
Check it out->> www.goodsearch.com<<, find your favorite charity, or "shovel in a little more coal" for the B&O museum - which could really stand the help with all the expenses from the snow storm damage of a few years ago.

I erred with Yahoo, I think.  It's probably Google.  In any event, the B&O Railroad Museum already has its second best month for donations from Goodsearch.  Check it out.

At Goodsearch it is states that it is powered by Yahoo, so I think you were right in the first place.

Well, it works, and the B&O is being helped - if enough other folks join in.  There's a church in California which has raised $0.01.  OTOH, PETA has raised over $1000 this year so far.  It's a matter of who will help.

People are still searching for the B&O Museum.  I'm sure it needs help after the major restoration it had to do to repair the snow damage of a few years ago.   Check it out and tell a friend.
