i'm making a difference initiative from Microsoft

[SadieKate]

Did you guys know about this campaign? I have a friend who has this itty-bitty green "i'm" logo next to her name in Live Messenger. I wondered how she earned it. Turns out she didn't but she is earning money for a good cause. I'm now earning for the MS Society (surprise, surprise) and have my own itty-bitty green "i'm" logo.
