In addition to crunching, you can provide some support to SETI@home by using GoodSearch and GoodShop. These search engines redirect a half their advertising to revenues to charity. Just be sure to choose "University of California - SETI@home" as your charity of choice. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

I forgot to acknowledge that this was Blurf's idea from quite a while ago, that we hadn't publicized for reasons too annoying to go into. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

Signed up and am using it now. So far, I've made 8 cents ? Oh well, every little bit helps. |

Well, at the rate I do searches, I'm racking up a dime a day. I made a couple purchases I was going to make anyway, too that should add up to a couple bucks. If enough people join it might add up to enough to pay Matt not to abandon us for life on the road next year. ;) @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

Would it help, if I double the Euro on the wall? Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

If anyone would like to make GoodSearch an option their browser's main search box, it's possible on Firefox. Firefox users can go here to add GoodSearch to their browser. Downloading the GoodSearch toolbar is also an option, but I don't like adding additional toolbars to my browser. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

I've been using them since late 2009 and am glad to have company. For the Opera browser, adding Goodsearch to the list of search engines is also simple. Name: GoodSearch Keyword: o Address: http://www.goodsearch.com/search.aspx?keywords=%s I also have checks in the "Use as default search engine" and "Use as Speed Dial search engine" boxes. Joe |

OK...the kitties would like to help out too, their little paws do a little searching now and again. How do you get your Seti avatar to display there? "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Hello ! Well, something happened here. I did some searching, and a little message came up, telling me that now, when I search, SETI will get more money, and I will get some kind of points. Don't care about the points, but the money for the project is MORE that welcome. This GOODSEARCH is a great idea ! Thanks Blurf ! Hope I got that name right. Sorry if I didn't. |

This is great I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before. I will certainly be using this. Cheers and goodluck |

What's to stop someone setting up some sort of automation that would do searches via a macro & 'artifically' generate money?... |
