Comments on: Giving My Brand New iMac to Charity http://deanhunt.com/giving-my-brand-new-imac-to-charity/ The highly acclaimed and controversial Internet Entrepreur Dean Hunt shares his off-beat views on success, marketing, personal development and some wacky humour. Why? Because everyone is entitled to his opinion Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:00:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Arne http://deanhunt.com/giving-my-brand-new-imac-to-charity/comment-page-1/#comment-189033 Arne Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:02:50 +0000 http://deanhunt.com/?p=549#comment-189033 "I mean seriously, this is just a piece of technology, it surely isn’t really going to change my life, make me happy and be the biggest decision of 2008… is it?!?" I totally agree with you. Technology never did any good in this world. It never gave people clean water, better farming or good medical care. Idiot. And to top it off, you'll give some poor unfortunate people an iMac to play with, all in the name of self promotion. This is terrible. Its not the technology they need, and I guarantee you, this is not the 'promotion' you hoped for. Send the iMac back to apple, get your money back, send them to people who need them. Regardless of who gives a shit how nice you are. “I mean seriously, this is just a piece of technology, it surely isn’t really going to change my life, make me happy and be the biggest decision of 2008… is it?!?”

Perhaps putting a 'growth meter' on your site could help, so that all your new and potential followers could monitor the progress of your quest (or doing something similar to what Dr Mani did with his Tweetathon). I support you, go for it and good luck. Cheers Viv Hi Dean

So, here is what I will do. At the time of writing, I have 916 followers. I will donate $1 for every new follower between now and the iMac arriving. This way, there will be a donation regardless. Julie,

A reader rightly has pointed out that there is a chance that I may fail, and thus I get followers and HEAL get nothing. So, here is what I will do. At the time of writing, I have 916 followers. I will donate $1 for every new follower between now and the iMac arriving.

This way, there will be a donation regardless.
