On Aidgle and its growing revenue
The growing popularity of Aidgle, the search engine that donates its revenue to disaster victims, is beginning to show.
Aidgle began less than a month ago, yet by the beginning of this week, over 440 US dollars had been made by the search engine. It might not sound like that much at first sight, but considering that 1 cent is made for every search, it’s quite an achievement.
This amount will be paid to Aidgle’s (genius) creator, Roberto Thais, at the end of the month (Google’s slow in that matter), who will in turn donate it to two organizations who are already taking action in the affected areas of the earthquake in Peru on August 15th.
So far, so good. But the revenue has to increase, for these people’s sakes. So many, many people lost it all while so many more forget of their existence, while in their comfortable homes.
Particularly for those who don’t live in Peru, here’s a chance to make a difference from our comfortable homes.
Hopefully one of these days we’ll hear ”Aidgle, miracle search engine changes lives of hundreds”.
It’s up to us, Aidgle users, to make that happen!
Aidgle: better than Google!
Aidgle is a search engine with a different approach: revenue goes to relief efforts in disaster locations around the world. It works just as well as Google, because it’s a custom version of the Google Search Engine, but the fact that it helps people in need makes it even better.
Right now, they money generated is being sent to Peru, where there was an earthquake on August 15th (I plan to make a blog post about my memoirs on that day, too…some other time). It was of 7.9 magnitude, killed over 500 people and left more than 85,000 without a home. These people are hungry, and homeless, and doing their best to survive the harsh winter. Aidgle is directing the money in rebuilding homes in the most affected areas: Pisco, Ica and Chincha.
Needless to say any help is welcome. And now the world has the chance to keep helping just by using a search engine! It couldn’t be easier!
I’m totally going to use Aidgle from now on.
The big question is: Will you?
