HelpAttack

SXSW, the Music, Film and Interactive Conferences and Festivals that takes place in Austin, Texas, has just finished wrapping up this week and one of the new services creating quite a bit of buzz was HelpAttack.

“HelpAttack is a way for people to easily convert their online activity into donations for nonprofits.”

There’s not too much more information out there that we can find, but follow them on Twitter at @HelpAttack and sign up to the beta.

Hopefully soon all that time you spend on Twitter and Facebook will be beneficial for your favourite causes!

@David / @Sarah – Thanks for the comments!

Even though it’s a secret project, it sounds like a lot of fun and for good causes, so can’t wait to hear more about it!

Would love to cover it in more depth when more details are released, so feel free to drop me a line at ben @ brightone.org.uk if you fancy chatting some more.

And best of luck with the project
