the buzz log
This holiday season isn't just about consuming. It's about good karma, too. The philanthropy-minded are figuring out what sort of good deeds to do. Lookups on "donate to charity" soared 2,600% last week, as the big-hearted proved charity begins online.
Thanksgiving traditionally kicks the goodwill season into gear as do-gooders turn to their computers. The season motivates searchers to volunteer for soup kitchens, deliver turkey dinners, and even put on their walking shoes to raise funds for the hungry.
But the good will keeps on going, as do searches for good works. Here are the top searches for donating time, money, and even an organ.
Top Volunteer Searches| 1. | Donate to Charity | 6. | Locks of Love Donation | |
| 2. | Salvation Army Donation | 7. | Car Donation | |
| 3. | Volunteer | 8. | Blood Donation | |
| 4. | Goodwill Donations | 9. | Volunteer Soup Kitchen | |
| 5. | Organ Donation | 10. | Toy Donations | |
