ChipIn: Collect Money Online
One of my dear friends has cancer and is going through very painful and challenging radiation and chemo. I wanted to raise a little money to help her family, and I discovered ChipIn, a simple little widget that allows you to ask your network to… well… ChipIn!
ChipIn doesn’t charge you anything for the service, but the money is routed through PayPal (you need a free account), and they take out 2.9% plus $.30 per transaction.
ChipIn is great for raising money for friends like Rebecca, but it would also work if you’re asking staffers to pitch in for a Christmas party or the like. It’s important to note that ChipIn donations are not necessarily tax deductible, unless, I guess, they’ve been set up by the charity.
Wanna see how it works? ChipIn a couple of bucks for Rebecca to find out!

Hi-LARIOUS! I can’t tell you how many times I run around the house looking for my cell phone. Frequently I pick up my husband’s phone and give myself a ring.
This clever, funny, easy tool solves that problem in a flash. Just go to www.icantfindmyphone.com and enter your number. Ring ring! The call comes within seconds, and a friendly robot woman says, “Looks like you found your phone!”
Love it.
