At a quick glance, the grammatical errors really turn me off. It immediately reminds me of a "scam" web site.

In my own personal -- and cynical/jaded -- perspective, it seems that you don't really "want to find a way to help others", as evidenced by the fact that you're taking 20% of donations.

Am I understanding this correctly? I give you $100 and you keep $20 and give the remaining $80 to some charity?

And the charity is chosen by an (easily gamed) Twitter vote?

No thanks, but good luck.

Hi jlgaddis, thanks for your comment. Percentage is high, I know, but it is only for these first weeks of activity. Once website, i hope :), starts to be known I would reduce it to 1 or 2%, to cover just the ADV costs, I'm not looking personal gain.

About the choice method, do you have any suggestions? How would you choose charity? Thanks again for your time.
