Snooze and Donate

There was donating money via SMS. Then it upgraded to clicking on a website. Now you can donate, in your sleep, via a new app. It doesn’t get more giving then this.

The app is called Snooze (how original) and works on iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads. It allows you to donate $0.25 every time you hit snooze. The app was created by LetGive, an organisation that combines mobile technology and charitable donations. You choose your charity and you’re given two opportunities a month to donate the money your snoozes accumulated. The money doesn’t automatically get donated so you could still change your mind (which isn’t really the point).

But wouldn’t it be really, really easy to snooze for an extra 40 minutes if it only cost you $1? That would be a dollar well spent. And you’ll have a great excuse: you were helping out a charity. What boss can be angry with that?

You can go here and download ten different charity-donating apps. Or you can take care of a hobo like a Tamagotchi but that doesn’t seem as charitable (or fun) as donating in your sleep.
