Which Charity
Which Charity was a website set up by myself and friends, with the aim of allowing users to find causes they are interested in and ways of helping they prefer. It also had the aim of raising awareness of and supporting various charities through free advertising.
Check out the official video here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/WhichCharity
..and 'The Charity Supplement' here:

(note that there are many thyroid awareness documents included in this list)
The website has now been handed over to a new team of keen, qualified individuals who have the time to take it further.

The Thyroid and its Diseases: Popular or Ignored? - Results
Click here to view a spreadsheet of all the results from the study:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tk3YmCivYl7Jptcz7s-hdHg&single=true&gid=0&output=html
Below is a bar chart of the data types and numbers (as per 'method') recorded. Click on the thumbnail to view full size.

From the number of terms recorded, I worked out the points as follows:
I also did not search blogs in the end - see 'analysis' for more details on this as I did a quick search afterwards.
The results comparing US and UK points 12 and 13 should not be relied upon because I did not search specific US news sites as I did with the UK, e.g. the BBC.
Commentary on the study, along with many articles are coming soon!

377*
*It is not important to add up the totals
I spent 1hour15mins approx researching.
*Note: I did not find any 'entire news section', worth 14 points, or 'news video entries', worth 14 points also. However I am aware that there are some US news videos available on YouTube which I have found previously and is referred to in the July article: 'Awareness in the UK VS the US: This Needs to be Changed.'I also did not search blogs in the end - see 'analysis' for more details on this as I did a quick search afterwards.
