Over the past 6-8 weeks both our Sales Team and Technical Support teams have been deploying servers for a new viral website that is gaining international media attention and driving massive amounts of traffic to their load balanced web hosting solution.

FreeRice.Com (http://www.freerice.com)
FreeRice has two goals:

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

If your like me you have to ask yourself how does a viral word game have anything to do with world hunger? The answer is easy, www.freerice.com built a fun and simple vocabulary based game, when played donates 10 grains of rice for every correct answer. I have visited the site 4-5 times in the last couple of days to sharpen my vocabulary and attempt to increase the overall amount of rice being donated.

FreeRice.Com was featured on CBS Nightly News last night and in it’s very short life on the web has been an extremely busy site.

If we asked Google how many people are taking about it, we can find out that about 638,000 web pages mention freerice.com! Not to bad for a website less than 6 weeks old.

I am not the gamer type by any means - in fact if you catch me playing, you will also catch me online looking for game cheats, walkthroughs, game hints, and shortcuts, to the game and I wanted to be one of the first to help you donate more rice with a few tips.

Tip 1:
embellishment does not mean window, but it is defined as a an ornament or decoration which could loosely be represented by a window?

Tip 2:
discrepancy has nothing to do with an underskirt and I rolled the dice on this one hoping that it might just have something to do with an underskirt. It seems that whenever I do wear my Kilt in pubic, I hear this word quite often, but now I know they are not talking about my Scottish Tartanware.

Tip 3:
stalwart has nothing to do with being frothy. (Although your stalwarth coffee might contain some frothy milk, if you ask for it).

The entire team at FastServers.Net would like to congratulate the success of this site and I have had 2 opportunities to work with the mastermind behind the website and it has been a very enjoyable experience.

If you have a few moments to visit http://www.freerice.com, you too can expand your vocabulary and help make the world a better place.
