3 Sites

Some preliminary research.

DonateMoney2Me.com: http://donatemoney2me.com/
$34.95 and then $9.95 a month for the privilege of asking for financial help when you need it. Fun fact gleamed from this site: It is illegal to donate money to people, or take donations from people, if they live in Florida.

Elements of Trust: The Cultural Dimension of Internet Diffusion Revisited
"Trust as a cultural resource not only acts as a lubricant for transactions and fosters economic growth, which has been empirically demonstrated by recent research, but also facilitates more, and more innovative, actions." AND: "The elements of trust can only productively cumulate if they complement and are related to each other. A society will ideally reach a maximum level of trust if its socially sanctioned practices represent a common cooperative moral ethos and group solidarity is inclusive."

Truth, Lies, and Trust on the Internet.
I should get this book into the library somehow:
"While many of these stories are grounded in truth, they do paint a rather sensationalized view of the Internet, the types of people who use it, and the interactions that take place online. Simultaneously, researchers claim that the Internet allows individuals to express their true selves, to develop 'hyperpersonal' relationships characterised by high levels of intimacy and closeness. At the heart of these competing visions of the Internet as a social space are the issues of truth, lies and trust."
