Organizations and businesses, we believe, will want to publish large amounts of useful data and free advice on Aidpage for at least six reasons - (1) as part of their own web presence and visibility strategy, (2) for a share of the advertising revenue generated on their Aidpages, (3) because it is easy technically and organizationally, (4) as part of their overall PR and marketing efforts, (5) because it is just a good thing to do, and (6) we won't charge you anything - remember, publishing on Aidpage is free.

How Does Aidpage Work People Aid People - The Platform Thu, 27 Oct 2005 17:45:15 PDT http://people-aid-people-the-platform.team.aidpage.com/ Simply posting on Aidpage makes you an Aidmate. Aidmates take part in something larger - a new worldwide public place where people see each other and help each other... with no fuss... and no need to work through organizations with all their rules, overhead costs, bureaucracy, and political agendas. On Aidpage, you are totally free to ask for help... or offer help... with no need for "proving" or "reporting" anything to anyone. Basically, there is no "process" on Aidpage. We, at Aidpage, do not plan on tracking who gives to whom... what, why, or how much. Handling of material transactions between Aidmates is left to their own discretion, mutual agreement, and responsibility. We do not plan on posting "success stories" on Aidpage either. We believe people are "wired" for trust. We believe empathy and compassion need no incentives. There are words like "micro-giving" and "direct philanthropy" coming from the world of the traditional "donor-recipient-beneficiary" philanthropy. We understand, however, that giving is a basic human need in itself. So we prefer to just say "people aid people". All Aidmates are always donors and beneficiaries.

(www.aidpage.com) today announced the launch of a free online locator service for people missing as a consequence of Hurricane Katrina. The virtual family reuniting point, located at http://katrina.aidpage.com, contains searchable and interactive personal web pages for hundreds of thousands of people separated or missing as a result of Hurricane Katrina. "We are aggregating the data available on the Internet to create unique web pages for every missing or found person," said Emil Sotirov, Co-Founder and CEO of Aidpage, Inc. "This way, Katrina victims or relatives looking for loved ones can type a person's name into any search engine and find the information they need in the way most people are used to searching the Internet. Our Katrina Aidpages will be the most easily accessible, effective, and up to date resource for Katrina victims currently available." In addition, individuals can create their own pages for missing or found people, and post updates, pictures, and add resource links. No technical skills or registration is required. Finally, Katrina survivors who are looking for aid such as housing or employment can list their needs as well - so that people offering support can see them. "Our ultimate goal is to put those who are in need in touch with the information, resources, and individuals who can give them the aid and comfort that they are looking for," said Ivan Ivanov, co-founder and President. "At Aidpage, our mission is helping people to help people." Aidpage, Inc., founded in Boston in May 2005, is building the first global "People Aid People" web based platform for direct person-to-person, informal, non-mediated, and free mutual aid and support. Prior to founding Aidpage, Ivan Ivanov and Emil Sotirov co-founded IDILOGIC in 1994, where they created and sold nationwide informational software recognized by the American Library Association as one of the best electronic media reference products.
