Yesterday Google, in cooperation with a group of tech companies, create a new search service with the specific aim of helping users find community service and volunteer events, and allowing them to share it to anyone. The group, which is composed of people from various fields, have been working with the All For Good service portal. The service provides a single search engine for volunteer activities hosted by volunteering sites and organizations – local or international-based, including the United Way, VolunteerMatch, HandsOn Network and Reach Out and Read.
In addition to the single search interface, the Official Google Blog said that there will be a data API for All for Good which be released as an open source software.
