I was watching CNN and saw an interview with Todd Davis who is the head of lifelock. He was talking about the lawsuits that he is facing. If you don't know, lifelock looks like a good company and its goal is to protect your personal information. They provide a service that will stop all that pre-approved junk mail offers on credit card and insurance in your mailbox. They also can place fraud alerts on your behalf to limit a bad guys ability to get credit in your name. As more and more people use the internet, information is all over the place and Lifelock helps to keep it safe. Experian, one of the big credit bureaus, is now suing because it says that Lifelock is costing them money and limiting their ability to sell your information. They say that the fraud alerts cost Experian to validate, activate and then deactivate after 3 months. Experian is in the personal information business and they need to do a better job at protecting my information. I am glad that Lifelock is around to help.

I am getting tired of buying & selling candies, cookies, magazines and other door to door fundraising items for the local schools, and sports community. I am not saying that fundraising is bad. Don't get me wrong, I always love to support my local community organizations. I'm just simply tired of the old fashion ways of organizations managing the fundraising event. This is 2008, all the neat technology is available to be able to do fundraising differently, better and more effective than the past. In addition, I don't like the fact that many kids going around door to door trying to sell items to the total strangers that whom they do not know. I have seen many kids that I don't know come to my door selling stuff for their fundraising without their parents. I am just very concerned about the children's safety including my own daughter. Plus who wants to go around door to door in the middle of hot summer day or in the middle of cold winter months. I certainly don't want to walk around in that weather condition.

Anyways, I just found some new ways to raise money for local community organizations that can be easily done on the website called Shoutback. Shoutback allows the community to create a account and gives many benefits for the community organizations to raise money for their cause using a click of a button. Some of the great benefits that are offered by Shoutback are listed below:

* Benefit your cause just by shopping, selling, and saving through Shoutback.
* Take advantage of special business offers, deals, and auctions.
* Share pictures, videos, announcements, and more.

Isn't it great to be able to raise money online at the comfort of your own office or home? You can simply send out emails to let your contact know about your online fundraising event via Shoutback's service! Supporters can shop, sell, save through Shoutback and community organizations can benefit from the things that people love to do. This is a win win outcome for everyone. My next door neighbor has started a local football organization 2 years ago and he is always look some new ways to raise money for his team. I can't wait to tell him about this new ways of raising money for his community football team. He has been selling candies for fundraising and I'm sure that it required him to spend some type of upfront costs. Shoutback will get rid of all the hassles and I'm sure that the team can be more efficient in raising money. Shoutback's auction system is also a nice way and can be fun for people to participate.

If you want to be successful in raising money for your community organizations, Shoutback services will give you a successful fundraising experience.
