Elsewhere on the web
Here in the Save the Rhino office, we like to think that we’re a bit hip with the kids, and recently we’ve been making several online forays outside of our own online home. So there are now loads of new places that you can visit us and get involved, and some new ways to donate to us too.
Everyclick
Everyclick.com is an internet search engine with a difference: it donates half of its revenue to charity. If you use everyclick.com as your search engine, you can set Save the Rhino as the beneficiary of your searches and every search you do will raise money for us! Just visit www.everyclick.com/uk/savetherhinointernational. Don't forget to add it to your favourites so you can find it again easily. It does not cost us, or you, a penny – so please use it, and pass the message on!
Myspace and Facebook
As any bright young thing will tell you, 2006 was the year of myspace.com. Myspace is an online networking site that allow users to add their own page with photos, videos, blogs and information about themselves and then link to friends’ pages. In this way online communities are formed and people make new friends, thus increasing their network. If you fancy making friends with Save the Rhino online you can now do so at www.myspace.com/savetherhinointernational.
2007 however, is very much the year of Facebook, the online networking site that's taken the world by storm. You can join our Facebook group by visiting here, and you can also sign up to the Save the Rhino Cause by clicking here. The Cause application allows you to register your support for a cause you believe in, and you can even donate money online!
Rhino shopping
In addition to Save the Rhino’s own shop, there are now a few new ways to shop online whilst raising money for us.
Whatever you buy online - books, flights, food, clothes, music, gifts, essentials for home and garden, here’s an easy and fun way you can help us - simply shop at online superstore www.giveortake.com. You can do all your regular shopping at over 500 big brand stores including John Lewis, M&S, B&Q, Currys, Waterstones, Expedia, Next and Play. What's special is that giveortake.com gives you money back on everything you buy, which you can donate to Save the Rhino. It’s free to sign up, only takes a few moments, and your shopping will cost the same (or maybe even less, as you will enjoy special offers and savings!) Easy and convenient shopping for you, and extra funds for Save the Rhino!
If you’re based in the US you can raise money for Save the Rhino whilst doing your online shopping by visiting iGive. iGive works in the same way as Give or Take, by giving you cashback on purchases you make from online shops through the iGive site – you can even claim cashback on shopping done on eBay! To register visit www.igive.com.
Happy snapping
Flickr is the traditional photo album recreated for the 21st century. It allows people to upload their photos onto the web, manage them into albums and then share them with other people online. And now Save the Rhino has its own photo group! We want to fill it with lots of rhino pictures from our supporters, and we’re offering the front cover of an issue of The Horn to the best photo uploaded. Visit www.flickr.com/groups/rhinopictures/ to start uploading and be in with a chance to win this special prize.
Click Every Day
Click Every Day is a site that allows you to raise money for Save the Rhino by simply clicking through advertisers links and then choosing a charity that you'd like that advertiser to donate to. It's the brainchild of Melvin Byers, an enterprising young business student who realised the potential of combining pixel sites with charity click through sites; charities make money, and advertisers gain more exposure. If you'd like to help Save the Rhino, please visit www.clickeveryday.co.uk every day, or as regularly as you can. It only takes 30 seconds, and as they say, every little (click) helps!
