Viral Videos and charitable organizations

Most people are good-hearted. They want to help other people in need, to ease their suffering and stop brutality. That being said, they are also easy to take advantage of, just by posting a Facebook post about the injustice being done, the suffering across the world, etc. I believe in helping my fellow man, however, I'm not one to just hand money over because some organization says this person is evil, this group is worthy, and so on.

Really people....do your homework. Before you blindly post viral videos, find out if they really are what they say they are...Check out CharityWatch or something comparable (for things like Kony 2012) or Hoax Slayer/Snopes/CNET for internet viruses, scams and hoaxes. If everyone was just a tad more careful, we wouldn't have so many hacked accounts. Of course, I'm not immune, but I am always suspicious.
