The people who work for Microsoft are the most generous charitable givers per employee in the world, and that spirit is at the center of how we work with governments and NGOs. Learn more.I've been seeing this ad on couple of my friend's MSN nickname...
I've searched to find information about it... and here it is.
i’m is a new initiative from Windows Live™ Messenger. Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations dedicated to social causes. We've set no cap on the amount we'll donate to each organization. The sky's the limit.
i’m is about making a difference. Not in a huge expensive way, not in a time-consuming way. But in a simple, effective way.
How it Works
1. Download the Windows Live Messenger instant messaging service. There's no charge and it's easy to download and use.
2. Within Windows Live Messenger, click Tools and select Options. Place the text code corresponding to the cause of your choice into your Display Name. -->
| Text Code | Cause |
| *unicef | The US fund for UNICEF |
| *komen | Susan G. Komen for the Cure |
| *naf | National AIDS Fund |
| *9mil | ninemillion.org |
| *help | StopGlobalWarming.org |
| *red+u | American Red Cross |
| *bgca | Boys & Girls Clubs of America |
| *mssoc | National Multiple Sclerosis Society |
| *sierra | Sierra Club |
3. Keep having i'm conversations so you can keep funding the cause doing the work most important to you.

Unfortunately this campaign is limited to only people in the US. It is for every message they send out (regardless of whether you are chatting with somebody from the US or not)...

@Myra - Yes Myra I use it myself...
I choose Susan G. Komen for the Cure. My dad and my aunt both died with cancer. I have seen how people suffer from this disease...
Anyway, thx for the tag Myra... I'll try doing it as soon as possible :-)
@Ali - yeah true, maybe someday it'll be for users all over the world...
@Asmaa - Well, the way I see it, and this is only from my point of view, is that MS always do charity, maybe doing this campaign this way is also somewhat an Ad for the MSN, this way of charity might increase people using MSN and let them prefer it over other chat applications.
:-) But of course, I'm not an MS GM or anything; I just think that this might be a reason for doing this campaign this way... :-) Thx Asmaa for the good question!
If I got the opporutnity I'll try asking some one who knows from MS and let you know :-)
