For this week’s Twitter Thursday, we’re doing something a little different. The people behind the charity search engine GoodSearch.com have offered up $50 to three winners to donate to a charity of their choice. So, instead of winning something for yourself, you’ll actually be able to up the karma points by giving back to your favorite non-profit.

If you’ve never heard of GoodSearch, we highly recommend taking a look at their concept. Basically, using the Yahoo! search engine, the site allows you to scour the web like normal. The big difference is that 50% of all revenue generated by GoodSearch is given to those schools and charities selected by its users. So if you’re someone who does a lot of searches daily — you could really be using that habit to benefit others at the same time. You can also add the GoodSearch Toolbar to your browser, and each time you shop at one of more than 1,000 participating top stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!), your charity will earn a percentage of the purchase price – at no extra cost to the user!

Today’s winners will get to choose from more than 83,000 non-profits listed on GoodSearch (full list here), with those selected receiving the $50 in the company’s December payout.

Want to win for your favorite charity? Hit the fold below to learn more!

How To Enter Via Twitter

3.) At 3pm EST, we’ll send out a contest message. All you have to do is re-tweet that contest message and add it to your updates. So if we say:

You’ll say:

(Note: exact wording will differ at contest time.)

4.) The 30th and 70th person to RT that message will each choose a charity to receive $50 by selecting from GoodSearch’s list of more than 83,000 non-profits! (Feel free to enter as many times as you like — but don’t be annoying to your followers. Nobody likes that! )
