Google announces All for Good for community services search
US based search engine giant Google has announced All for Good community search service.
It has been developed by Google in collaboration with some other tech companies.
It provides a single searching interface for volunteer activities across many major volunteering sites and organizations like United Way, VolunteerMatch, HandsOn Network and Reach Out and Read.
They are also providing a data API for third party developers who would want to code applications on top of it.
Google added in a blog post:
While many organizations are doing great work to enable community service locally, it’s not simple to search across opportunities from a variety of places to find what’s right for you. We have some experience finding relevant information from among many scattered sources, and when we learned that President Obama and the First Lady were making community service a top priority even before taking office, we thought we could help make a difference.
