ProcrasDonate.com – Procrastinate & Support Charities

Charles — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:00:16 +0000

This is a site that redefines the concept of “doing nothing” and miraculously transforms it into “doing something laudable”. How is that? Well, what this site will let you do is to donate to a cause of your choice for each and every hour you procrastinate.

This system is implemented as follows. First, you need to activate a RescueTime account in order to let the application know what it is that you are up to at any given moment. You also select a charity and a donation rate, and if from that point onwards ProcasDonate detects any activity on your behalf that can be deemed as procrastination then you are donating the amount that you set down at the beginning. (Payments are authorized through Amazon.)

In that way, you will have a splendid excuse to mince the things that you do, and avoid wasting time that could be better employed elsewhere. After all, is there a bigger incentive for doing something than knowing you will be “fined” for loitering? I frankly don’t think so, and if you also feel that way this site is certainly going to be of use.

51% of Rec.fm’s earnings are donated to the charities of users who make product recommendations. Proprietary technology of Rec.fm scores product recommendations based upon data indicators of “trust” and prioritizes presentation of the most trustworthy recommendations to searchers.

How it beats the competition:
Product search is increasingly irrelevant, spam filled, and dominated by advertising. The solution is Rec.fm’s friends to friends product recommendations that can’t be bought and are directly relevant within a social circle.
