“Social networking and lifestyle apps make up the majority of these cross-platform apps, though in general, most location-based apps are travel apps, followed by social networking services and sports and fitness apps.”

“Check In”a way to do good.

by check in to the local stores and select which charity you want to donate.

Note:

Last week, I was passing by Kamppi square in the sunny afternoon. There was a group of youth(4-5people) from UniCef actively collecting money from pedestrian.  At mean while, an old dirty wanderer just sit on the ground with cardboard. He was right behind those attention grabbing volunteers. Such a big contrast.

It brought me a thought to observe how people react to it.  How people choose the way to do good?  Would direct and once help to the old man bring better reward to donators? Would big corporation earn more trust from people? In my opinion, transparency is important for both of them. I’m always scared of giving or buying something for charity on the street. First, I don’t trust those people. Some of those have bad intention by using people’s empathy. Second, I don’t feel good after helping them with money. I would like to do sort of physical help and feel happy right after that.
