A PetTalk CHALLENGE for One by One - GRAND TOTAL ~ $25.79

[kuhio98]

Listen up PetTalkers! I am issuing a challenge to everyone for the month of January. Here's your chance to Goodsearch me into the poor house!

Here's the deal: I will match every $$ earned through GOODSEARCH through the month of January for One by One (Kutztown, PA).

Simply go to the GoodSearch website, enter One by One as your charity and then use GoodSearch for your web searches. To make it easier, you can download the GoodSearch toolbar on your computer if you want.

ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

Absolutely Lisa. I will use it for my search. What a generous idea. Nice way to help out.

[jazzcat]

Cool! I was getting ready to Google jello salad and recipes with Splenda so I will GoodSearch it instead.

[catnapper]

LOL -- I use that every day already (sometimes I think Jen and I are the only ones in the rescue ) so now I have even more reason to use it!

[jenluckenbach]

WOO HOO!!!! What a wonderful way to help us out!

Now, what can I go look up?

[Cincy'sMom]

I use Google almost everyday at work...this month I will be sure to use Goodsearch instead

Me too - I did not know such a thing existed.

[jenluckenbach]

a shameless bump.

[CultureJunky]

That is such a fantastic gesture, and I am in awe of your charitable cause.
It's inspiring. I will use it from now on.

Great idea and I am now using it regularly.

There is an easy way to set Goodsearch as your default, I know this works with IE7:

Add your own search provider to your copy of Internet Explorer 7 by following these steps:
click on the arrow next to the search engine you have now and select then click on "find more providers"...and it will give you the same directions I am posting.
Visit the desired search engine (Goodsearch) in another window or tab
Use the search engine to search for TEST (all capital letters)
(copy the URL from the address bar)
Paste the URL of the Search results page
URL: (this is where you paste the URL you just copied)
Specify a name for the search provider
Name: (select One by One from the list)

This just adds this particular Goodsearch to the top right of your toolbar - rather than installing the Goodsearch Toolbar. I already have Google Toolbar and did not want to add another. Google tries to block another engine as the default, but the above directions worked for me. This way, I still have the buttons from the Google Bar that I like, but I use the Goodsearch default instead of searching with Google. You can also go back to Goodsearch and check on the amount raised so far - it is $1.31 at this moment

Hope this helps someone else to make it convenient to use.

Such a good iea to use this for One by One

YUP!!! This is what I did a while ago.

[kuhio98]

Great job everyone! We are up to $2.67. Keep up the good work.

What are you GoodSearching for? I'm off to find a recipe for microwaveable peanut brittle...

[kuhio98]

We're up to $3.76. We can do better than that!

Yesterday I searched for something called a germ guardian to see if it would help me with my mold alergies. Then I searched for David Beckham because, believe it or not, I had never heard of him and wondered what all the fuss was about.

GoodSearch doesn't cost you a thing. What are you GoodSearching for?

I had already joined GoodSearch for a different Pet Charity and I'd be happy to share- but for us in Germany it is difficult as the search resukts are not as good as google- not enough things are found. I still use it from time to time.
