IM Making A Difference Campaign

[The following information is derived from

official site: http://im.live.com & 能量魔法]

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. They've set no cap on the amount they'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.

There's no charge, so join now and put our money where your mouth is.

Conditions:

users of Windows Live Messenger 8.1 or above
at least ONE of the participant(s) in the conversation are living in the US

大家可能會發現最近會看到朋友清單裡多了一個從來沒看過的圖示

，這是個由微軟發起的很有意義的捐獻活動！微軟的即時通訊軟體MSN在Windows Live Messenger 8.1版之後，只要你在暱稱上面加入可愛的秘密圖示

，以後你跟朋友每聊一次天，微軟就會將部分廣告收入捐給紅十字會、愛滋病協會等的慈善或福利機構，而且捐款金額無上限。你聊越多微軟就捐越多，而且在第一年每個機構的捐款下限是十萬美元。所以請趕快加入

，邊聊天邊做慈善！
