Just a reminder that those amazing folks at One Laptop Per Child are offering a very special "twofer." If you buy two of their
incredibly cute "XO laptops" for $400, one of them goes to you (or your
kid) and the other to a child in the developing world. I’m leaning toward getting one, which would look awesome besides my old Apple eMate.
The amazing little machine weights in at 3lbs, is virtually indestructible, is completely open source, and has everything from a videocam, to microphone, stereo speakers, and game pad. And I even love the color. Watch David Pogue’s awesome video playing with the XO on the NY Times website.
Head to http://www.xogiving.org to sign up for this special offer. Expires on November 26, next Monday!
Hi Rik, I thought you might be interested in a project we’re launching with our client, BC Hydro, and their Facebook app Green Gifts, around the XO laptop.
We launched Green Gifts for BC Hydro (the power utility in British Columbia, Canada) in October to promote conservation. Now through Nov. 26th, BC Hydro is lending the application to promoting the XO and letting people know that they can Give One, Get One until November 26th.
So to encourage Facebook users to spread the word about the XO, BC Hydro is Giving One and Getting One itself — and giving its XO as a prize to a Green Gifts user.
Facebook users can learn all about the application, and the contest, at http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=20167841264
Awesome, thanks for sharing this, Aaron!
