GMH one of Cracked.com's Top Picks

GMH was selected as one of Cracked.com's Top Picks for July. Cracked, if you didn't know, is hilarious. You should go there right now and spend the rest of your day reading it.

Incidentally, for the past few days - even before the plug on Cracked - traffic has been at record levels. We also hit 2,000 followers on Twitter, and 6,000 on Facebook. Word is getting out!

Givoogle.com - Search the web. Save the world.

What if you could raise money for charity every time you searched using Google?

Now, you can. We're SO proud to share with you guys the new website we created, Givoogle.com.

Givoogle is the same Google search you love. But advertisers pay us for every 1000 people who see their banner ad. Then, we donate 100% of the money to the American Cancer Society. Cool, huh?

If just 0.01% of people currently using Google switch to Givoogle, we can raise millions to fight cancer! We're so pumped!

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Just setting Givoogle as your home page will raise $74 a year or more. Do it now!

Prefer the search box in Firefox/IE? Use the Givoogle Search Box.

You can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook!

Tell two people - start a chain reaction! Instead of $74, you could raise $74,000. Who knows?

GO SPREAD THE WORD!! Update your Facebook, your Twitter, blog, anything! Then, let us know in the comments what you did to spread the word! We love you all! - Emerson and Gaby

Gaby and I were on the CBS 22 Evening News!

GMH featured in BUST Magazine

We got two media references in one day - awesome!

From BUST:

I’m sure many of you have heard of FMyLife, where people talk about the shitty and degrading things that have happened to them, or Texts From Last Night, which is exactly what it sounds like. And though these brief anecdotes range from humorous to embarrassing, neither of them are quite as uplifting as Gives Me Hope, where people write inspiring snippets of he good the everyday person is capable of."

This is one of my favorites: "My father was diagnosed with cancer and passed away 4 years ago. Recently, I stopped by his online blog. I found out my son had been leaving him comments, saying things like how he missed him, and how he is studying hard in school, and that he would study hard to find a cure to cancer so that people won’t miss their grandfather like he does.
