The Great NetXperiment
Well the timer has started ticking and the race is on to see how quickly it takes for the internet to raise $1 Million.
Of course people just don't GIVE you money without reason. They like a return for their cash. And a return they certainly get in The Great NetXperiment
Using a variation on the search cloud type of display, each contributor gets the opportunity to put a link to their preferred site. The more they donate, the bigger their link. The biggest donators have the bigger links.
This means that not only can individuals challenge each other, but it is a great vehicle for community groups and businesses to get their names out there for a fraction of what other advertising costs.
In fact you can give as little as $1USD and get your name on the page!
If your competitors give more than your $1USD then they will have the jump on you display wise, so make sure you are checking to see if your name is standing out from the crowd at regular intervals. In fact I would suggest daily.
And the best thing is ALL contributions go to Foundation 5 Million who raise funds for research into the cause and cure for Multiple Sclerosis. So do your karma and conscience a whole lot of good while raising the visibility of your site!
The Contributor Cloud
(totally unique !)
The Contributor Cloud is a unique way of displaying contributors to the Great NetXperiment.The Contributor Cloud will display your nominated display name linked to your nominated URL. The more you contribute the bigger your link.
If you are a member of a community and you want to contribute to that group's total you just ensure your PayPal checkout has YourGroupsName@http://www.YourGroupsURL.com
Same goes for businesses and so will generate a heap of exposure on a high traffic, high interest site!
So Who Benefits From The Great NetXperiment ?
(and no it isn't me!)
Foundation Five Million*taken from the F5M website*
There are approximately 15,000 people in Australia who have MS and this number is growing by 3 people per day.
The primary concern for all of these people is to find a cure for MS - no matter how advanced or serious their condition is.
You or someone you know may have been recently been diagnosed with MS or you have been diagnosed for a longer period of time and are in the workforce or are leading a normal lifestyle.
Foundation 5 Million (F5m) is your opportunity as a Person with MS or someone in the MS community (families, friends, carers, workmates) to make a contribution to the quest to find a cure for MS through research.
