How Does Aidpage Work

Posted in AidpageTeam on Jun 27, 2005... modified on Oct 4, 2007

If you need help...

Sign up here on Aidpage - free, takes about 10 seconds, don't need an email. Post a new message with pictures and information about your current situation and your needs - it's easy, technical skills are not required. Then, browse other people's aidpages. Use the comments section on their aidpages to send them messages. Some of them will respond to you. At the same time, other people will be visiting your aidpage and writing to you. Write back to them. Talk to each other. Make aidmates.

How can aidmates help each other...?

Aidpage doesn't tell you how to help each other... It's up to you to decide. Advice and good information are easy to share right here on Aidpage. But you can do whatever you find appropriate and necessary... in whatever way you can. Use the aid information and web links contributed by other aidmates. Add to these resources. Be a good aidmate.

If you want to help others...

Simply browse or search Aidpage and wherever interested, post comments or contact the people. They will respond to you. Make aidmates. You can even start your own group right here on Aidpage. A group has a better chance to make a difference in a single person's life or to work for a larger cause. Aidpage is free... no limit on how many pages you can post here or how many groups you can organize. Most importantly - you'll be on the web with a purpose!

The easiest way to help...

The more people know about Aidpage, the better for all aidmates. Add your friends, relatives, and colleagues as email contacts here on Aidpage. Use this new feature of Aidpage to bring in the much needed attention and support to those in need.

People Aid People - The Platform

Posted in AidpageTeam on Aug 16, 2005... modified on Jan 28, 2007

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.

Hello Victoria... what is happening with your picture may be due to a technical problem. Please, don't blame the other users before we know what is going on. You can remove (delete) your angry comments on the pages of the other users. Our programmers will take a look at this tomorrow (Monday).

What's Aidpage About...?

Posted in AidpageTeam on Jan 14, 2006... modified on Jan 14, 2006

Looking for help...? Just need to talk to somebody...? Want to help somebody...?

Make an aidpage about whatever is on your mind. Tell about yourself. Add pictures. Making an aidpage is easy... technical skills are not required... and Aidpage is free.

Then... browse other people's aidpages. Use the comments section on their aidpages. Write to them. Post web links and pictures. You can send them private messages too. Some of them will reply to you. At the same time, other people will be visiting your aidpage and will be writing to you. Write back to them. Talk to each other. Make aidmates.

Come back on Aidpage every time you need to share something. On Aidpage, people are real - it's not like TV. Real people talk to each other and help each other. That's what Aidpage is about.

How can people help each other on Aidpage?

Aidpage doesn't tell you how to help each other... It's up to you to decide.

Advice, good information, and friendship are easy to share right here on Aidpage. But you can do whatever you want... or whatever you find necessary... in whatever way you want.

Use the information and web links contributed on Aidpage by other people. Add your own web links and resources. Be a good aidmate.

Tell your friends and relatives about Aidpage. The more people know about Aidpage, the better for all aidmates. This is the easiest way to help each other.

Free Care, also called the Uncompensated Care Pool (UCP), is a health care "safety net" to make sure that everyone in Massachusetts, regardless of income, has some access to health care when needed. Those eligible for Free Care can get medically necessary health services at community health centers and hospitals in Massachusetts for free, or at a reduced cost, depending on income.

Posted in depressed Donna on Jan 3, 2006... modified on Jan 3, 2006

Hi Donna, Try to find a free clinic or hospital and speak to a doctor about how you feel... My opinion is that being depressed for periods of time is absolutely normal. It's just part of life. It makes you miserable, of course... but it is normal. You just have to endure it... Now, here are a few links below... take a look at them... and call the phone numbers listed on these pages... I will continue to look for more resources and advice... and will post them here...

Why Your Organization/Business Should Be Interested In Aidpage

Posted in AidpageTeam on Aug 15, 2005... modified on Oct 27, 2005

Organizations are absolutely welcome to use Aidpage - to seek or to offer help (or both) - within the spirit of informal immediacy and "everything free" which are the hallmarks of Aidpage.

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.

Interested? Contact Emil Sotirov.

Aidpage Launches People Locator Service to Reunite Families Separated by Hurricane Katrina

Posted in AidpageTeam on Sep 21, 2005... modified on Oct 5, 2005

BOSTON, MA - September 20, 2005 - Aidpage, Inc. (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.
