Wugging

'Wugging' refers to the newly coined phrase 'Web Use Giving'. This is a new phenomenon, also known as '21st century giving', which involves web users using search engines which donate some of their proceeds to charity. Several people seemed to have had this idea at the same time, as websites such as Goodsearch, and all sprang up at the same time. Indeed, these three were all launched in 2005 and the latter two are UK-based and are both powered by Ask.com search results.

The term can also be applied to shopping websites where a percentage of each sale is donated to a charity. All 'wugging' should be at no expense to the user.
