Unless you have recently came back from a Orthodox Amish Community, you should know that there is a mission on mars and that something called the phoenix mars lander recently discovered Ice in mars. but that is not all what The Phoenix Mars Lander does. it knows how to repay the good money it cost by giving out constant reports via Twitter and serving  Mars Weather news to you via Widgets.

So now you can have recent Weather Reports directly from mars and look at it thanks to a Widget.

donors-choose-widget.jpg

Give back to the community with the DonorsChoose widget. Allow your readers to pledge donations to schools to help fund needed class projects. You get to choose the project to help fund and you get this cool widget to display on your blog. As you can see, the widget displays the challenge amount, the percentage at which your blog stands and a ‘donate to my challenge’ button.

I happened to see this on TechCrunch and followed the link to see what it was about. Thats when I discovered that quite a few A list bloggers were utilizing this widget. Fred at A VC,(currently in the lead) Engadget, All Things Digital and others (DonorsChallenge Leader board)
DonorsChoose says…

DonorsChoose.org is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.

Proposals range from “Magical Math Centers” ($200) to “Big Book Bonanza” ($320), to “Cooking Across the Curriculum” ($1,100). Any individual can search such proposals by areas of interest, learn about classroom needs, and choose to fund the project(s) they find most compelling. In completing a project, donors receive a feedback package of student photos and thank-you notes, and a teacher impact letter.
