I'd seen Mike's project and thought it was a great idea, but here I was buried in getting a startup fired up and thought I had no time. But, hey, great things don't happen unless you MAKE them happen, so I've done a similar challenge, benefits going to the Grameen Bank - microcredit pioneers lending to the poorest of the world's poor, and helping them to pull themselves up through the economic mud. Great charity - would appreciate spreading the meme. Looking forward to seeing how these experiments work out, and how the ripples have spread! See http://bit.ly/z9Kk for full post. Cheers, Dan Peter – well, you tipped me past the tipping point.

Borrowed the idea. Added a twist. My pay scale per follower varies. Only interested in hyper-local for the particular twitter account for which I'm wanting followers. Blog post about it here: http://is.gd/aNV3 Thanks again for the idea, Peter. Yep, I followed suit. Borrowed the idea. Added a twist. My pay scale per follower varies.

I'm inspired. Well, at least inspired to put something on my "someday/maybe" project. I'm also a board member for a hyper-local organization in my community. I might follow your lead on this. ~ J Interesting idea, Peter. I’m inspired. Well, at least inspired to put something on my “someday/maybe” project.

It's encouraging to see people doing that extra bit to not only help those in need but also spread joy in their own networks by enabling them to feel good about themselves by getting just a tiny bit involved.
