The power of viral charity

Five dollars might not make a big difference these days. But five hundred people donating five dollars each? Hmmmm.

Vancouver is already well known for being the birthplace of Web 2.0 photo-file sharing company, Flickr. But the next big Web 2.0 venture out of Vancouver is all about sharing our resources with the people who need it.

Givemeaning.com is a website that helps people donate to worthy causes online without having to worry about getting your passwords stolen or your email account inundated with spam. It's a nice, practical application for helping make the world a better place.

Full disclosure: I have absolutely no connection to this website or its founder. But I am proud to have this kind of startup launching out of Vancouver, just a few blocks away from where I go to work.

Givemeaning.com gets a good plug from CTV here. Here's hoping they get all the press they can handle.
