Myndnet Widget Enables Bloggers to Monetize Their Audience and Donate to Charities

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Myndnet, the Information Marketplace that creates revenue streams for members of any social network, today announced the ability for its worldwide members to donate earnings to leading non-profit organizations spanning a multitude of important causes, from animal protection and disaster relief to encouraging the development and distribution of free, multilingual content.

Myndnet members, who earn revenue by providing responses to business information requests and by collecting referral fees from monetizing their social networks, can now select the non-profit organization of their choice and donate all or a portion of their earnings online. Participating non-profit organizations include Wikimedia, which operates one of the largest collaboratively edited reference projects in the world, Wikipedia; the American Red Cross, the Humane Society Silicon Valley, Save the Bay, Second Harvest Food Bank, The Family Giving Tree, Toys for Tots and the United Way Silicon Valley.

In addition to making donations directly from Myndnet.com, bloggers and Website owners can monetize their audience by embedding Myndnet's revenue-generating widget into their site and donate all or a portion of the referral fees paid for each response provided by their members. The widget complements bloggers' existing revenue channels, such as Google AdSense[TM] or Yahoo! Publisher Network, and represents a new revenue stream for their blogs or for the charities of their choice.

"Facilitating non-profit donations and building a donation feature into the foundation of our company at this early stage is a positive reflection of the Myndnet culture," said Dan Hodges, CEO, Myndnet. "We have received a significant number of requests from our members to enable them to make donations to a variety of charities and today's announcement embodies their desire to give this holiday season."
