Comments for Is FreeRice.com making $150k each day in profits?

WHEN MR.JOHN BREEN LAUNCHED THIS WEBSITE WITH A NOBLE IDEA OF CONTRIBUTING SOME THING TO HUMAN CAUSE THROUGH UNITED NATIONS,WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME,HIS EFFORTS TO LAUNCH AND MAINTAIN THE SITE MAY NEED SOME FINANCIAL SUPPORT. IN CASE, HE IS REALLY NOBLE MINDED AND CONCERNED FOR HUMANITY,HE CAN DONATE THE SITE TO UN,WFP DIVISION SO THAT THE FUNDS GENERATED CAN BE FULLY UTILISED. THE ADVERTISERS AND THE VISITORS OF THE SITE ALSO HAVE A TRANPERANCY OF ACCOUNTS. HOPE JOHN BREEN WILL DISPLAY HIS MAGNANIMITY BY DONATING THE FREERICE.COM WEBSITE TO UN,WFP

I just heard of free rice and played for 1/2 hr with huge pleasure, that pleasure being amplified by thinking of kids learning to get excited about word meanings as well as spelling. (not everyone will, of course, but it does just happen!) Having a large vocab, I contributed lots of grains of rice which also seems to be to be an unequivocal positive! The REAL cost of putting a check in the mail and sending it somewhere for $3.00? (I'm just guessing the value of my particular donation, maybe less, maybe more) would be terribly inefficient for charitable purposes, while this site plan seems enormously efficient. All good so far.

The "author" is raising the interesting and important question of John Breen's profits. he may be lying when he says that he is not keeping any of the earnings of the site (presumably no one objects to his paying a reasonable amount for the maintenance of the site etc. etc., even to himself). So, should he enter into some very expensive legal arrangements in order to make his charity more
transparent, seems to be the final question. Does anyone have ideas about how it could be more transparent and still not be another huge administrative expense? I'm not a techie, but it seems to me that ought to be possible.

I understand money is actually raised only when the player clicks on an ad. I played twice without even looking at the ads. However, when I decided to end my session at a particular point, looking around for a 'log out' or something, I noticed the banner
"e-toys ...something" and, having a couple of grandchildren, I thought I would look. I clicked and got a "no such site" message. (Safari). then I tried using Firefox and got a similar message, but at least web address that I could copy and it led to the web site for "E-toys....whatever it is.." with age categories. But Breen's site didn't get any credit, I believe, for my attempt to use the banner ad.

I have another cavil with the site of a totally different kind. Some of the definitions (at least at the 45 - 50 score level) are not the best single word possibilities. There is no feedback allowed to the "expert lexicographers" who supply the material. That would be an improvement too.

This must be too long. I've never done this before
