Breadpig Blog: Purveyor & Publisher of All Things Geek — reddit

  I did a reddit AMA on Friday that was quite fun, but it got even more awesome when illustratingreddit painted this lovely breadpig! Why thank you! redditors are so freaking talented... Check out the rest of the portfolio here.

We sold $650 worth of cookies for the Bread Project!

On the last episode of Breadpig Adventures, our hero donated $1776.74 to Reddit's Restoring Truthiness campaign on DonorsChoose.org to congratulate them for breaking Hilary Clinton's record for donations within just a few hours. We were proud then, but just a week later the campaign is sitting at over $270,000 and actually convinced Colbert (and Stewart) to hold a rally in DC. Uh, I guess our baby's all grown up! Yesterday, several of the higher ups at DonorsChoose stopped by Reddit to thank the community in the best way possible: by becoming part of it for the day. The DonorsChoose Ask...

The reddit community decided that a good way to drive the point home would be to launch the largest Donors Choose fundraiser ever - something breadpig needed to be a part of.

We've hit a nerve. Our launch of WTFCNN.com started with this TechCrunch story, then a deluge of tweets -- which are still regularly coming in!
