FreeAlert: new type of not-for-profit service
Saturday, 11.08.2007The concept of FreeAlert.com service is really innovative; at least it applies to me personally as I have never heard of similar one before.
What does it do? It is a charitable organization tat allows you to get (or donate) free stuff in your local area. It works in this way: you go to FreeAlert, register and indicate what type of products you would like to get (or give) for free. Once the company spots any it notifies you with an e-mail or SMS message. You confirm that you will pick it up – and you get it.
If you would like to learn about the story of the service and the people who stand behind it you can find it here. It is a smart idea how to combine not-for-profit activity with the latest Internet technologies. So, you can join the service if you are in need of some items or you know who are in need or you can donate some products if you feel like helping people worldwide.
One of the ways to donate if you are a PC savvy user – just collect those many freebies available/ advertised on the Internet and then donate this stuff through the service.
