Offset Poverty via New Social Network - OffsetX.com

Poverty remains the number one challenge we face in the civilized world. And I’m not talking about the so-called “poverty” affecting today’s financial markets or the recently-out-of-work wizards of Wall Street.

The “poor” condition they suffer is self-inflicted and, arguable, well-deserved. I’m talking about poverty in the classic sense – the inability to provide the basic necessities of life for oneself and one’s family. The lack of food, shelter and other life-sustaining necessities that we in the “civilized” world too often take for granted. This poverty is certainly not deserved, and those of us in a position to help are doing way too little to change it.

There’s no excuse for this kind of inaction anymore, now that there’s OffsetX.com, a social action website designed as a one-stop source for taking action against poverty – or anything really. OffsetX’s network “Offset Poverty” (found at: http://www.offsetx.com/poverty) combines informative articles, pertinent research and expert opinions with links to a wide range of charitable organizations dedicated to ending poverty.

At OffsetX.com, visitors can also find causes, businesses, sports rivals, political candidates, and other topics where making their contribution to effect change is just a click away.

So check out OffsetX.com, and pass it on to your friends, especially those who always say that they that want to help, but just don’t know how. OffsetX.com is a social network that is more than just an “I’m friends with you – you’re friends with me” site. It’s a space to get behind your causes (like ending poverty) or passions (such as sports, politics, etc), while also being able to create your own network within seconds.
