TripAdvisor to donate $1M, your vote counts

by Tiago Gaspar on Sep 22, 2008 at 08:00 AM

TripAdvisorTripAdvisor, one of the biggest travel guide websites on the world wide web, has come up with an interesting idea to give back to the community.  It will come in a shape of a big donation and will be given to a worthy cause.

The best part is that you can vote where the money goes to.  There are 5 options: Conservation International, Doctors Without Borders, National Geographic Society, The Nature Conservancy, and Save the Children. You’ve got until the 12th of November to vote on the organization that should receive $1M.

This show of charity has some web2.0-ish features.  If you invite or notify your friends from Facebook, MySpace, Digg (or some other social network) about this Internet event, it means the organization you picked will receive extra votes.

Right now, the first place is occupied by Doctors Without Borders, followed by Save the Children, and in third place comes The Nature Conservancy.  No matter who wins, the money will be going to a worthy cause.
