&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve reposted the links directly from the giveooks! site.&amp;nbsp; Several of the charities I consult are involved in this contest as givezooks! is giving away $500 cash and a free subscription as well as other prizes to the nonprofit that gets the most votes.&amp;nbsp; givezooks! is a fundraising software platform that&amp;#39;s helped over 60 charities raise over 11 million.&amp;nbsp; Thanks. - jmike! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Did you know that givezooks! is giving away $1,000 to the winning nonprofit in the Donor's Choice Contest?</title><link>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/99272.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2009 19:54:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">caa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:99272</guid><dc:creator>tclaremont</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/99272.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=26&amp;PostID=99272</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;It looks like the links refer to a Linked In redirect. Why is the http reference you provided intended to mask that? What is your objective with this post? I don&amp;#39;t understand. As best I can tell, it just comes across as spam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A quick websearch reveals the&amp;nbsp;same subject line on Craigslist in cities from Birmigham to Anchorage, and all over Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is it that you are trying to do?
