In my last post, I told you all about the i'm Talkathon, a project started by an i'm Initiative fan named Parker to help raise awareness about this incredible program from Microsoft that donates to a social cause every time you send an IM or email. UNICEF is one of the causes, and there are just five days left in the Talkathon!
In these final days, there's a simple way you can help raise awareness for UNICEF and possibly even help us win a big donation from the social netoworking site Facebook. Facebook has pledged $15,000 to the social cause that gets the most votes in their i'm Initiative poll.
Here’s the deal: On the "i’m Making a Difference" Group page (www.facebook.com/im), look for the poll on the right margin. Simply vote for your favorite cause. You can see the results in real time.
UNICEF is currently in third place. Help make us #1! Rally your friends. Get out the vote. The more friends who get behind UNICEF, the better we will do. That's what community is all about.
And let's have a round of applause for Facebook's generous pledge. Very cool.

Hi, it’s Parker Whittle here. I wanted to let you know about my online Talkathon that benefits UNICEF, along with nine other important causes. It’s sponsored by the i’m Initiative from Microsoft, a program that donates to the causes every time participants use Windows Live™ Messenger or Windows Live Hotmail®. The response to date has been amazing, but UNICEF can really use your support! Check out my blog imtalkathon.com, where you’ll find all of the information you need to get set up with the i’m Initiative, so all of your emails and IMs can help make the world a better place. You’ll see just how easy it is to make your IMs and emails benefit the kids UNICEF supports. And you’ll also see how messy a loft can get during the course of a 30-day Talkathon. Cheers, Parker.
