i’m making a difference

We all use Msn Messenger (or Live Messenger, whatever its called these days), why not make a difference while using it?

i’m 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. We’ve set no cap on the amount we’ll donate to each organization. The sky’s the limit.

So any time you have an i’m™ conversation using Windows Live Messenger, you help address the issues you feel most passionate about, including poverty, child protection, disease, and environmental degradation. It’s simple. All you have to do is join and start an instant messaging conversation. We’ll handle the donation.

I’ve downloaded the new version (8.1) and choose to support StopGlobalWarming.Org. All you need to do is to download the new version, and add a code next to your screen name, each cause has a different code. For example StopGlobalWarming.Org’s code is *help. Heres the list of codes:

Text Code Cause
*red+u American Red Cross
*bgca Boys & Girls Clubs of America
*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

After doing that, you’ll get an i’m icon next to your name.

for people on my msn contact list who are using macs or old versions of msn, you’ll see “Yazeed *help”, there is nothing wrong with me, *help is the code I choose , i am fine, just download the new version and you’ll get rid of the *help thing, and the “i’m” icon will appear :P (after a few minutes of adding the code, 2 people asked me whats wrong and why do i need help, thanks for caring, bas really I am fine)

Its a simple way to support a cause. Everyone should do it.
