PulpFiction for the EFF
Posted August 10th, 2004 @ 09:25am by Erik J. Barzeski
With PulpFiction's popularity growing, we thought we'd take the opportunity to do some good for the world by donating to charity. With a 1.0.2 release planned in the next two weeks (a bug fix update only - 1.0.3 will resume with the adding of some cool new features), we will begin a donation drive to benefit the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
For any donation of $50 or more, your personal blog will be listed as a default subscription in PulpFiction. Freelancer blogs are welcome but company blogs are not. You may donate on behalf of others or for several of your own blogs if you wish. FSS will match the total donation (up to $2500) and all funds raised will be donated in the name of PulpFiction and its users to the EFF in early September. Fundraising will take place from now until the end of August 2004.
These donation-based default subscriptions will be included with every copy of PulpFiction for no less than six months. This is a great way to get some new viewers to your blog for a reasonable donation to a worthwhile charity. You may choose to label your blog (a PulpFiction feature) and you may choose whether to have the "show linked content" feature turned on. Please supply all of the necessary information - the feed you wish to use, your blog name, the default author, and the label and "linked content" preference in the donation note.
EFF is a nonprofit group of passionate people - lawyers, volunteers, and visionaries - working to protect your digital rights. We couldn't think of a better national or international technology- or computer-related charity.
To donate, simply send a PayPal payment to charity@freshsqueeze.com. I'll update the donation list daily (I haven't decided whether to do so in this post or via TrackBack).
