Saturday Special -- Win $1,000 in Cash + $5,000 for the Charity of Your Choice

Dot com mogul John Chow is holding a new contest, giving away a whopping total of $6,000 in CASH! $1,000 will go to the winner and $5,000 will be given to the charity of his/her choice.

If I win, I would give the $5K to the Virlanie Foundation, a charity that seeks to improve the lives of impoverished Filipino children. Homeless children have become a common sight in the streets of Manila, and Virlanie Foundation aims to reach out to these children, giving them a better future. In case I win, I would put the $1K into my savings account.

The contest is being sponsored by XR.com. XR.com is a tiny url service that shortens any atrociously-long-and-needlessly-complicated URL into a short URL. Ain't that sweet? It's very straightforward and useful. If you're sick and tired of posting kilometric URLs, then you must try XR.com. Sign up for an account and check it out!
