Hey guys! I just wanted to give you a quick update about a few of the projects Gaby and I have been working on that we're really proud of! Many of you know about Givoogle (Use Google to raise money for charity!), and GivesMeHope (FML for optimists), but a few weeks ago we launched LoveGivesMeHope - full of stories that make you go "AWWW!" Here's a recent one that got to me (yes, Gaby turned me into a big softy):
When my sister was younger she came home from school one day and demanded I take her to the library so she could get books on sign language. ...I asked why? She told me there was a new kid at school who was deaf and she wanted to befriend him. Today I stood beside her at their wedding watching her sign... "I DO".
Today, we are proud to announce the launch of OMG Facts - the official website of the #1 fact source on Twitter. Created four months ago by 16-year-old Adorian Deck, a former MuggleNetter, @OMGFacts already has 335,000 followers. OMG Facts uses GMH's user moderation system to ensure ONLY the most interesting facts are published. Here are a few:
The average office desk has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl. When you put a seashell next to your ear, it's the sound of your blood surging in your veins, not the ocean.
Speaking of Twitter, if you've been seeing a lot of people retweeting the account @IDoThat2, it's because it's the #1 most-retweeted account on Twitter. We created it for fun a few weeks ago. :) Oh yes, we have a date for the wedding - Summer 2011, in Ecuador. ... Thank you SO MUCH, everybody, for your support! We love you all!
