Nice story and marketing idea. However I’m sure now every freeway ramp here in L.A. will be flooded with homeless (and homeful) people with .com signs to go with their money cups!!

Hmm, now that I think more on this….

Nice!
Actually their list of donations only sums up to about $10k.

@Good karma how did you do that, they don’t add any links in the donors list?

I think what this post really says is that it’s important that we don’t overlook offline marketing efforts in trying to promote websites.
