Opening up my Gmail account this morning, I came across an email from Google saying:
"Hello,
As we near the end of the year, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for the time, energy, commitment, and trust you've shared with us in 2009.
With sharing in mind, this year we've decided to do something a little different. We hope you'll find it fits the spirit of the holiday season.
We're looking forward to working with you to build lasting success in 2010.
Happy Holidays,
Your Google Team"
And upon opening the link, you're greeted with a spinning globe saying that Google has donated a whopping $20 million dollars for charities around the world. I assume that this is part of the google.org organization, but the link reading http://www.google.com/advertising/holiday2009/ is very misleading. But that's besides the point! Thanks for the donations Google!
