Brotherton Cadillac creates a Twitter focused campaign, Race for a Ride to raise awareness, and up to $140k for a Seattle non-profit. The idea takes donating through social media to non-profits to a whole new level, by offering one lucky tweeter a brand new car (2010 CTS). I personally was very impressed with Brotherton Cadillac for taking the pludge into the deep end of social[...]
One of my favorite startup company stories to tell is about the stress reliving and smile inducing family of websites created, maintained and made successful by Cheezburger Networks.
