Day 125: Performed A Bunch of Goodsearches

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fool for random trivia.  I tape Jeopardy.  I drink Snapples simply for the random facts on the bottom of the lid.  I fill my brain with a ton of useless (and sometimes useful) information.  One of the vehicles that I have used to enhance my trivia knowledge is the internet.  Anytime a thought pops into my head or there is something I feel the need to know, I hurry up and search for the answer on Google or Wikipedia.  There really isn't a reason why I do this because I have never actually tried out to be on a game show or even called in to a radio station to answer questions.  Having this insatiable thirst for trivial knowledge is something that I never thought I could really utilize for my random acts of kindness.  That is until one of our readers emailed me with a website that could both feed my mind while helping others out. 

Goodsearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo that donates 50% of its' revenue (about a penny per search) to different charities listed on their site.  When performing a search on the site, you have the option of selecting from a number of different charities with which to make a donation.  You even have the option of adding your own charity, school or cause to the list of charities for a new way to earn money for them.  So today, for my random act of kindness, I am going to be using Goodsearch as the tool for my never-ending quest for useless knowledge.  Moving forward, it is going to be what I use for all of these searches and seeing as how I search for things about 100 times a day (not an exaggeration), a great amount of money could be raised this year.
