  • maddvibe, on 08/25/2008, -0/+8Now that's a great use of social networking. Getting many people to donate a small amount of money is brilliant, adds up quickly.
  • crazyirish, on 08/25/2008, -0/+7I was there watching it all and throwing my $10 in the hat and more on Paypal. She actually raised $3700 at the end of day two when the conference was done. Amazing.

  • rjleaman, on 12/30/2008, -0/+4There's a terrific rebuttal for when people try to say that social media's "just a big time waster" or that "the internet doesn't work"!
  • burkinaboy, on 08/25/2008, -0/+2Agreed! I'd love to see a challenge to Digg to out-do those Gnomedexters. surely, working together, we can make a HUGE difference!
