Congratulations to the winners and all who submitted an app! The Change the Web Challenge such a huge success! Read more here.
But what's really cool, one of the winners, Zemanta, had decided to pay its award forward. It launched a challenge to bloggers to "Blog For A Cause" throughout May in aid of global charities. Zemanta and partner Weber Shandwick's Social Innovation Greenhouse will donate $6000 prize to most blogged about charities
Bloggers who want to take part should go to http://www.zemanta.com/bloggingforacause for details on the challenge, and start blogging about their favorite charity right now. Zemanta will split the prize money between the charities that are most blogged about over the course of the next four weeks.
Beth, thanks for writing about our Blogging For A Cause campaign. I hope to see you and your readers endorse worthwhile causes in the following weeks.
Jure Cuhalev, Zemanta
