New York, New York ? We all know how a swearbox works: you say a bad word, and you put a coin in a tin. The punishment, though effective, is now almost entirely nonexistent ? and yet our swearing continues. These days, though, it?s through Twitter, on your iPhone or Mac, that we let loose our most foul language. So how do we pop a coin in a tin?
Fueled, an iPhone design and development agency based in NYC, recently introduced Charity Swearbox, a positively-minded venture that turns a bad word into a good deed. Founded by Rameet Chawla, James Dow, and Jay Gelardi, Charity Swearbox is a donation-based site that provides Twitter users with a venue to right their wrongs, sparked by a collective wish to create something fun for the greater good.
The process is simple: just go to www.charityswearbox.com on your desktop or iPhone and enter your Twitter handle. In turn, Charity Swearbox will scan past Tweets for bad words and provide you with a suggested donation. At no obligation, select the amount you wish to give ? suggestions are based on 10-cents per word ? and choose a charity. Voila! Off your money goes. Having already ?caught? some $40,000, the venture is growing quickly as an engaging and well designed web portal through which users can easily and safely donate to a growing list of charities.
Of course, Charity Swearbox is a duty-free experience, and users can interact as they wish. Those who choose to connect through a Twitter account will receive monthly emails with a tally of bad words, while the rest can simply visit the site as they please. Over time, the list of charities ? which has already included PETA, UNICEF, 50/50, and Beatbullying ? will spread, and thus, so will the good intentions.
To learn more, visit Charity Swearbox and watch the explainer video, produced by Fueled, then take a moment to turn bad words into good deeds.
