New Advertisers

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Most of the advertising campaigns run on ripple are sold directly by us to advertisers we approach ourselves. Contacting advertisers and explaining how ripple can help their business has taken up a lot of our time over the last six months.

Over the next few weeks we are going to try something new. We are going to begin serving ads from advertising networks. We haven’t done this before so we are interested to see what kind of quality advertisers we will have.

We don’t want to expose people to bad advertising or advertising which links to defective or crooked products in any way. So keep in touch with us about the ads that you see and let us know if any make you cringe!

Hey biiiiiiiig donator

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Well we’re licking envelopes here at ripple HQ as we send out our first set of invoices.

You, and the rest of the ripple community should be proud to know that together we have raised almost $15,000 in just a few short months.

That’s money that will make a big difference to the lives of some people in the developing world.

You should all feel proud of yourselves…and your mice.

Rosling ripples

Monday, October 29th, 2007

ripple is all about new ways of thinking about things. That means that you, the rippler, are an innovator. But not just any old innovator….an innovator who cares.

For that reason we thought you might be interested in this speech from TED. It’s pretty challenging and helps to think about poverty in a new way.
