Some Random Dude

I was hoping this would happen for quite some time…

It appears that another site has decided to adopt their own version of Comment Love. Didn’t You Hear has added a feature called Comment Charity. The program is very similar to the one here – for every comment, 50 cents is donated to charity. For Didn’t You Hear, the comment donations go to The Global Fund, a organization fighting AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. If you ask me, that is a pretty worthwhile cause. But, hey, don’t take my word for it, read up about what Didn’t You Hear is doing from their announcement of the program. May I add that the site is quite lovely, I am already a subscriber and regular reader.

I know that people in the creative field, including bloggers, can be very defensive and protective of their creation. For bloggers, unique content and features are extremely important to their “success”. All the time, we see people “calling out” others who they allege copy or steal their idea. I usually am not too uptight about people “borrowing” my work or ideas. In this case in particular, I am absolutely ecstatic that another blogger has decided to take on a project like this. In fact, I hope more people do the same. Comment Love is an idea which I think is too promising to hold on to.
