Seattle, WA December 24, 2008 -- An innovative new site at http://www.1friend2another.org will launch at 12:00pm EDT on December 24, 2008. We believe this site will grow through word-of-mouth to well over 100 million flowers because it'ss exceptionally fun, beautifully designed, and socially very useful and charitable, said David O. Snow, Director of the Consumer Freedom Alliance.
Five Newsworthy Firsts:
This site has several internationally newsworthy firsts:
-When people walk the Magic Rainbow that shines above the White House at our site, they will come across five scenes, one of which enables them to plant up to seven flowers. The garden
starts at just over 7.5 million flowers (our guesstimate for how many flowers are planted in Washington, at least in the summertime.) To reach our goal of 100 million flowers, the site
needs to attract at least 20 million people. We believe we'sll do it, using the incredible power of word-of-mouth on the Internet, said Snow.
-Its virtual garden is located on the White House grounds at a time when the inauguration of a new president is near. In the Mount Rushmore scene, everyone can read what our greatest
Presidents said, and anyone can voice their advice to President-Elect Obama. Although the site uses the White House as a familiar landmark, its usage implies no political or partisan
purpose.
-Perhaps most importantly, the site gives away the Book Of Time, a compendium of time-saving tips that can increase anyone'ss free time by hundreds, perhaps even thousands of hours over
their lifetime. Gaining just 50 hours of free time each year over twenty years means 1000 more hours of free time. If 100 million people take advantage of this free book, that'ss a
staggering 100 billion hours that all those people can enjoy with their friends and family. It'ss a truly revolutionary book, and we encourage everyone to visit its support site at
10Freedom.com to find out why, said Snow, the book'ss Author.
-While most sites that are designed to spread by word of mouth are launched in support of corporations, this one is designed to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities at a
time when donations are dwindling for many of them. Our philosophical goal is to disseminate very high-quality consumer information in support of charities, said Snow. With this
information, we can teach people to live better. The more people live right, the less likely they will become a burden on charity, so spreading good teachings is an excellent way of being
charitable in and of itself.
-This site is specially designed to support the media. Reporters and bloggers can actually track the growth of the Garden of 100 Million Flowers and personally verify its explosive growth
as being absolutely true in two different ways. First, after the site is launched at noon EDT on December 24, reporters should press the = key (the equal sign), as soon as the site has
loaded into their browser. When they do, they'sll be treated to a secret way that they can personally track the snowballing traffic, as the site grows at exponential speed. Journalists
will immediately receive a special link that lets them email their contacts about the site, then track how many times their contacts forward it to others, and so on to six degrees of
separation and probably even beyond that.Second, we are making our statistics pages available for December and January:
* December: http://www.consumerwit.com/stats/1friend2another.org/usage_200812.html (This is available
as of noon EDT December 24)
* January: http://www.consumerwit.com/stats/1friend2another.org/usage_200901.html (Will become
available on January 2)
Of course, the six supported charities themselves will be tracking the success of their email campaigns in the same way that reporters are. You can read more about the participation of
these charities (Pajama Program, Homes For Our Troops, OliviaAppeal.com Medical Teams International, Mercy Corps and Cars for Causes) at http://www.10freedom.com/donate.pdf.
A Paradigm Change In Self-Help Publishing:
By launching this site, the Consumer Freedom Alliance hopes to entertain and enlighten people worldwide, while generating a large amount of money for charities. The ultimate goal of the
CFA is to create edutainment sites that are so unprecedented in their entertainment value and usefulness that millions upon millions of people will want to spread high-quality information
to many of their friends.
The world'ss finest minds are already beginning to use the Internet to spread their teachings to millions, and we intend to support this developing trend every step of the way, said Snow.
We realize this site will generate worldwide interest, so we'sre including charities from Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom in the Book Of Time. The Canadian charities are the
Vancouver Foundation and SOS Children'ss Villages Canada. The UK charities are Booktrust, Action For Children, MacMillan Cancer Support, and the World Society for the Protection of
Animals. The Australian charity is the aforementioned OliviaAppeal.com Olivia Newton-John'ss campaign to build a sophisticated cancer research and treatment center in Australia.
This campaign ultimately will not be limited to only English-speaking countries. Time is universally valued by everyone, so we have commenced fulfilling our humane responsibilities by
making the Book Of Time available in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French, German and Russian.
The Consumer Freedom Alliance is an ambitious consumer publishing company founded in 2005 with the motto Health, Safety and Financial Freedom for All. Its mission is to persuade consumers
to read, utilize and pass along helpful tips so that all consumers may benefit.
