Fed up with Facebook? Fear not. There is a new website in town perfect for whiling away those long hours. Better still, you can brush up on your vocabulary while helping to feed the world’s poor. Or so Freerice.com promises.

There’s no reason why sites like this shouldn’t work, although you can’t stop and think that corporate bureaucratic’s are just skimming their share of the profits before its getting to the people on the ground.

Maybe that’s just the evil in me right ?

P.S I find their parent site poverty.com to be a little disturbing with its hunger deaths per hour counter. What’s the deal with the map displaying the faces of the dead, how do they even have photographs of these people. *Cough* do you mind if I take your photo so we can display your photo on our site when you die ???

I hope they really are doing good !
