How to do a good deed
The hook of virtues

Wish you had time to remove rubble in the aftermath of a distant disaster? Bothered by the lack of research funding for a certain disease? Worried that your tax karma will be bad because you didn't donate to charity?

Or maybe you've been told to get a life one time too many, or you're looking for a little sweetener for your resume or college application. Latent saint or cynic, it's time to act.

Using the Net to donate your time and money to a good cause has become as easy as e-mail. While you may not right all the world's wrongs, you can do something decent with a little time at your keyboard. Several organizations welcome any time or energy you can spare.

You may be asked to e-mail a congressperson, organize a letter-writing campaign, even help put up a Web site or disseminate info on your personal home page. The Working Assets Flash Activist Network will even page you with emergency calls-for-action.

You might even want to kick in a few bucks, once your Web research convinces you the cause is just and the organization on the up-and-up.

As technology becomes more advanced, the possibilities for being a do-bee are as endless as the problems and concerns of five billion people. Being active on the Net is a quick and easy way to make a difference.

Besides, it feels good.
