I recently came across this site, FreeRice.com, which I thought it is very nice and creative. It is nice because you can learn vocabulary and help end the world hunger. The idea is very creative. This is how it works: you go to FreeRice.com and play their vocabulary game, for each question answered correctly 10 grains of rice will be donated by the sponsors to help people living in poverty. It is a win-win situation - you get to play the game, FreeRice get the traffics, advertisers get their exposure, and people get the free rice. If you like the idea, please help to spread out the word. For more details, please read their FAQ page.

Thanks for posting this. As for how much “they” are making why it should concern anyone? I know it for a fact that money is donated and people will be fed and to me that is all that matters.

Very nice find. I wonder how much they are making on cpm.. My guess is over $10,000 a month.

10 Grains? That won’t touch the sides! Good idea though.

It really is a great idea, I just donated about a 110 grains. I’m Dutch, so a lot of words don’t have any significance to me, but I can still link a lot of words together.

I’ve been visiting free rice every couple of days, it’s an excellent idea, rice for all!
