That best portion of a good man's life; His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. --William Wordsworth

How To Do A Million Good Deeds:
Three student entrepreneurs at the University of Michigan think they can use their phones to make the world a better place, one download at a time. Three weeks since its launch at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, the application, DoGood, has recruited more than 15,000 individuals to be part of a growing network of users who want to change the world, at least a little. Subscribers to the free application are prompted daily with a "DoGood" -- a simple task from conserving water, to turning out a light, to beautifying the world. When they've accomplished their good deed for the day, they click the application's "done" button. The program tallies how many users are fulfilling that day's deed, and users can share what they have done on Facebook and Twitter. So far, it's up to 209,214 good deeds. [more]

. Doing good deed is a great feeling that you can't explain. We relly need to beautify the world, because this is one of the great creation of our God above.
