In my second post on this blog I wrote about my efforts to see if the collective power of Reddit.com could be applied towards a more humanitarian goal. To make a short story even shorter: it was met with a lot of criticism and negativity and didn't really end up going anywhere. After this initial failure, I wanted to see if I could somehow present a charity or a cause in a more appealing manner to the trolls on Reddit, thereby actually accomplishing something, but my work got ahead of me, and I never really got around to it.
It seems, though, that my efforts gave the four guys who run Reddit some pause for thought, and just today I ran across this blog entry on the front page. The sweet sense of vindication that I got from this aside, I'll personally be donating once the winning charity is announced, and encourage you to do the same. It's great to see that someone out there not only has the will to enable some sort of good in the world, but has the clout to bring others to their cause as well.
It's been a good day :)
