Good news for all

C. Ramesh

Turn any newspaper and all you can see is bad news. Murder, corruption, death, tragedy...doesn't it get too much to stomach after a while?

If you think it does, and want a break, click on to www.altruisticweb.com. The site is dedicated to helping good news travel faster and the focus is on the Internet community.

The folks behind the site believe that a lot of good things happen online, such as community, generosity and spirit. ``Strangers helping strangers, people reaching out across the miles and becoming friends, acceptance and tolerance and a true sense of community...these are all the good things that the Internet promotes.''

This site has been set up with the express objective of relaying to users across the world stories of how people and communities are making the world a better place to live in.

The site carries links to `Inspiring Sites', freeware and shareware, and `Click-to-Donate' sites, where you can contribute your mite for a worthy cause.
