This thread is easy.

I will pledge $.50 for every facebook post or tweet about the Saberseminar.

You link your facebook post or tweet in this thread, I donate fifty cents to SIC.

Here's sample posts:
Facebook:
Help me spread the word about Sabermetrics, Scouting, and the Science of Baseball (saberseminar.com), which is happening at BU on August 4th and 5th (in only 2 weeks)! 100% charity event for The Jimmy Fund - every ticket sold goes directly to cancer research! Come talk baseball with Bobby V and reps from 6 Major League Teams!

Twitter:
Help RT Sabermetrics, Scouting, and Science of Baseball (saberseminar.com) - Aug 4/5 in Boston! 100% Charity Event for @TheJimmyFund


Rules:
1) Your posts must be a positive advertisement (i.e., follow the model above)
2) Your posts cannot be spammy (I will only donate .50 per day per person).
3) I will only donate up until the saberseminar
4) I will only donate if you link your post in this thread

Man, I dodged a bullet here. This thread has 50 views already. If those had been facebook posts, it would be $25. Thank god you guys love AIDS and CANCER so much you don't want me to donate.

Double Edit: Ditto for my facebook account.

My Facebook page (400 friends)
My Works Facebook page (140 likes)

That's $2.00.

[Frisbetarian]

I'll double Jnai's offer. Get posting, cabrons!

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

So...

$2 for Jnai
$2 for Fris

This could be a big one. It takes like 10 seconds to post. Get posting!

Edit because I'm stoopid.

Hold on, I meant I would double the amount given by equaling Jnai's offer. Sorry for the understandable confusion.

[AlNipper49]

Add one facebook post -- not linked here but I'm buddies with you so if I'm not good feel free to fact check me

Ah, gotcha. My bad.

Done by me 859 friends, all of them tired of getting posts about AIDS. Let's see if cancer works.

I'm pretty sure my twitter is private, but trust me, I did it anyway.

I trust you!

But from now on, public twitters only. I'm pledging for publicity here. =)

[mrsbeasley]

I posted this on both my twitter accounts. One for my blog and one for my personal account. Also posted it on my blog's Facebook page and my personal Facebook page. So there is four.

Even though it's only one per day per person, I posted on Twitter and Facebook.

and it has already been RETWEETED!

[Jnai]

Only $6 for a day of publicity? Pretty cheap. I wonder if SoSH can top it tomorrow.

[BrazilianSoxFan]

Today's tweet.

[Hildy]

I posted both the truck video and the saber science plug on FB--not linked here but maybe it'll show up on the Sosh FB news feed?

No effort clicktivism works, and I'm living proof. I tweeted this. Great idea.

[Jnai]

I thought I was going to get nailed for like $100. This has been super cheap so far. Thanks for loving AIDS so much, guys.

[sittingstill]

I'm not big on RTs, but I wrote another one (really two) today.

[Jnai]

Bump.

[Jnai]

Jose, people in this forum kind of suck at using twitter and facebook.

But, I'll still chip in $50 for all your efforts.

Sound cool?

(And a huge thanks to all of you who did support both charities this year!!)

Jeez, I didn't see this until now.

I've been pimping it on the SoSH twitter account a lot.

Sounds great. At $50, you also qualify for a handbag. Give me your initials or something so I can cofnirm.
