It sounds like a good idea - Bing will donate 5p for every 10 qualifying searches to Sport Relief, but isn’t donating money supposed to be easy? Instead of a straightforward process of raising money every time you use Bing to search, Microsoft has disregarded the 64% of users who are browsing the Internet using Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. To participate in this scheme, you must use Internet Explorer, download their “Giving Counter” and then rack up the searches using Bing. It makes the whole affair very much tied in with Microsoft and brings to mind the recent news about offering browser choices.

Regardless, we hope Give to Bing is successful in raising lots of money for Sport Relief. For your good deed of the day/week, open up IE, download their browser plug-in “Giving Counter” and search away.
