# Across the Read/WriteWeb Network: Charity Search, Internet TV, Niche Social Networks

Here are some of the highlights from the Read/WriteWeb Network over the past few days:

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20110104045713im_/http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1400/836247685_df8c92c092_m.jpg)[AltSearchEngine’s List of Charity Search Engines](https://web.archive.org/web/20110104045713/http://altsearchengines.com/2007/09/10/is-the-web-still-a-windfall-for-non-profit-alts/): Charles has compiled a very useful list of charity search engines. He concluded that while none of the search engines on the list rated a perfect 5 star rating, several were ‘very good’? – namely GoodTree, GoodSearch, CharityCafe, and EveryClick (U.K. only). Also, with just one exception (SearchGive), they all use a Major search engine to power their results, so you should get good search results.

However – writes last100’s Daniel Langendorf – their online offerings remain sporadic and their Internet strategies feel like ‘we have to’? rather than ‘we want to’?.

Though it supports text/photo recipes, the site really emphasizes videos. For example, click through to check out the video from rising star, iFood.tv member LizzieMarieCuisine.
