This is a note from Kelsey Childress, creator of The Social Robot.
Hey Everyone,
First, I’d like to thank you for the success of The Social Robot. This has been a great side project for me that has helped a lot of people, which is all I can ask for. In order to give back (and because I love giving at Christmas), I’m going to participate in the 2009 ‘Cans for Comments‘ drive from December 8-22, 2009.
However, instead of cans, I will be donating something a little different. The idea is, for every comment this blog receives starting today, December 8, I will donate 1 lb. of dog food or $1 towards the purchase of items on Wayside Waifs Wish List. Wayside Waifs is the largest no-kill animal shelter in the Kansas City Metro and helps out thousands of animals every year.
One more thing- if you’d rather your comment be used towards a can of food rather than Wayside Waifs, let me know at the end of your comment.
Comments can either be on this post or any other post on The Social Robot. Each person can only comment once and it must be a substantial comment that makes sense and if relevant to the discussion.
Additionally- I will also donate another 50 cents for every person that tweets or shares this post (or any other TSR post) on Facebook. Please either email me a link to your tweet/fb post (via the contact tab on the left), add it at the end of your blog comment, or include @thesocialrobot in your tweet.
Again, the commenting and sharing period is from December 8, 2009 to to December 22, 2009. Thanks to everyone who will participate and I’ll post an update once the commenting period is over.
Happy Holidays! Spend it doing good and being happy!

Great idea Kelsey! I commented on a post earlier today that had a similar concept. Tis the season for giving! The Social Robot has been a great reference site, and I enjoyed doing a guest blog a few months back. Glad to see the site is getting a lot of traffic and having success. Happy Holidays!!
