[article] 你的msn今天I'm了嗎？

最近有很多人的msn暱稱上都有一個這種圖示。　（我哩勒，忘了縮小size了，算了！）



這其實不只是個好看的圖示而已，它的背後是有意義的喔。

這是由微軟體發起的活動，先決條件是使用msn 8.1版以上，當談話的2方中有1方是在美國註冊msn的人，微軟會依據你們每次談話內容多寡來捐出部份的錢給需要的公益單位，每個代碼所代表的單位不一樣，但是在msn上看到的圖形都是一樣的。



而且微軟體很貼心的為msn user著想，大家絶大部份都習慣在暱稱位置放上自己的名字，所以圖示設計成I'm可以讓你跟自己的原暱稱結合，而不至於很突兀啦。



捐款單位列表是由微軟I'm官方網站抄錄下來的：

代碼	受助單位
*red+u	American Red Cross
*bgca	Boys & Girls Clubs of America
*naf	National AIDS Fund
*mssoc	National Multiple Sclerosis Society
*9mil	ninemillion.org
*sierra	Sierra Club
*help	StopGlobalWarming.org
*komen	Susan G. Komen for the Cure
*unicef	The US fund for UNICEF

據說，目前這些受助單位只有美國的單位，不過先實行後如果成效不錯的話，會推廣至其他國家的其他單位。

如果你正好msn list上有朋友是在美國註冊msn的，不妨在你們的msn上加上I'm吧，談天之餘也可以順手做個公益囉。



以下的說明由微軟體官方轉貼過來的：
