Seems we could be in the running for some bonus credits for Seti for the most new Goodsearch supporters... Please see Eric's thread, and register if you have not. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

I got 22 points, what ever that means, no money yet. A penny here, and a penny there... Free, and just for doing searches we would otherwise do using other search engines. Not a bad deal for Seti, eh? "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Between us we've raised over $150 (Now if we could convince someone to convert S@H credit to $$$....) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? ID: 1154607 · |

I like this idea and signed up as soon as I read EK's post on Facebook. With the number of members SETI@Home has, this has the potential to turn into quite a nice chunk of change toward the project.

Spent $100 bucks at amazon today. Went there via the GoodShop route, so SETI gets $1.50 of that. (GoodShop is the companion to GoodSearch. Check out their shopping sites - might be some that you already use. I also Added Amazon to my GoodShop Toolbar. Didn't want another toobar, but worked on my Internet Explorer skills a bit and learned how to hide it and bring it back with a few clicks each. Another Fred Support SETI@home when you search the Web with GoodSearch or shop online with GoodShop.

Let's get on this bandwagon, folks. A painless way to generate incremental funds for Seti, and it is working. I have added 38 cents to the total of $176.68 since I started using Goodsearch a short while ago. Painless, no cost to you, just use it for your web searches. Eric's thread about Goodsearch. It works. Kitty approved fundraising for Seti. Meow! "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

I've also passed onto Eric another possible way of raising funds....but I can't specify the details as it has to be he specifically who contacts them.   ID: 1157316 · |

Okay Mark et al, This seems like a good thing to do, so I have registered with Goodsearch and run my first few searches. Hopefully over the coming weeks I can generate a few cents towards SETI. After all, every little helps. : ) Tom ID: 1158605 · |

Running at about $100 per week, 1478 registered users for S@H. All for the sake of a few clicks. Not bad at all. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? ID: 1158617 · |

Just a quick bump to get this back into the lime light. I've just noticed that the total raised this way is about $250, of which I've triggered $2. Keep those Goodsearches searches rolling, you know it makes S@H a happier place. (Anyone any idea how this $250 compares with the money spent on the RAM for the router??)
