Social Actions is a fantastic online initiative that aims to make it easier for 
people to make a real difference in the world, by essentially aggregating thousands
of online microphilanthropic opportunities from over 50 different non-profits and
other sources (at the last count) through one site with powerful search functionality.

However, what is really clever about the way that Social Actions works is that it
is not just reliant on people visiting the site to search for opportunities to take
actions they might be interested in. It can also ‘push’ action opportunities out
to any other website…
