10 Jan 09 Give Your Donations Through DonorsChoose.org
Giving to charity is righteous, no question about it. But you should make sure that the donation really goes to the proper beneficiaries. DonorsChoose.org ensures that every donation to schools or charitable rganizations will be delivered. The site gives the donors a choice of a particular project to aid. Several project proposals, which come different schools and charitable organizations, are pre-screened for verifications and posted at the site. So if you want to donate you can choose a specific project or projects. And then the website will buy the materials and ship directly to the beneficiaries. If you are already a donor of a particular charity, but is not in the site, you can sign the charity up at DonorsChoose so that more people will know of it and will donate on your favorite charity. That would be great, isn’t it?

22 Dec 08 Music and Democracy in Last.fm
While looking for some reviews about my favorite band, System of a Down, I stumbled upon this music site last.fm The site is cool. Everything about music can be seen here. Plus, the site has its own hit list, which is based upon the members’ choice. The website also has a system of recognizing each member’s preferred music, and then connects the member to other people who listen to the same kind of music and recommends other songs for the member. A lot of interactivity and “democracy” happens in the site. Last.fm’s objective, as the site’s creators said, is to make music culture more democratic: to allow everyone listen to the music of their choice. A very good music website!
