CharityFrogs Site Goes To Per Day Clicks To Raise $1,000,000
 
 
http://www.charityfrogs.net/
Net venture capital group Venture Frogs, which is committed to donating $1 to charity for every unique visitor who clicked on the "RIBBIT" button on CharityFrogs site, has received about 60,000 unique clicks, and raised $60,000 for The American Red Cross so far.  

To help reach the million dollar goal faster, Venture Frogs has decided to stop counting each unique visitor just once.  Now, they will count unique visitors per day, which means that if a person visits the site on two separate days and click on the "RIBBIT" button, they will be counted twice.  

Venture Frogs was founded by Tony Hsieh and Alfred Lin, who were both part of the founding team of LinkExchange (acquired by Microsoft in November 1998 for $265 million).
 
So, please visit http://www.charityfrogs.net/ again, and forward this email to your friends and family so that they can visit the site and help them reach the $1,000,000 goal.
