Free Rice!!!

This is pretty cool.  Its a vocabulary building game called Free Rice.  As you play the game, small advertisements are seen below and those companies pay to the Non-Profit running Free Rice.  The non-profit uses this money to by 10 grains of rice for every word you get right and donates them to third world countries.  Its a cool game and a great way to help out others.

What makes you think it's a non-profit?  I don't see any information about who's running it on the Website.  I've also seen speculation in the blogosphere that the guy is potentially raking in huge profits.

I read your diary last night and I'm addicted to the game already. I can't get past 41. <sniff>


Dare to be free.
