Cambrian House Sends Out Laptop to Receive Signatures from Technology Rock Stars - Starts with Guy Kawasaki

Calgary, AB (PRWEB) September 15, 2006

CALGARY, AB Sept 15, 2006 Cambrian House Inc., a Calgary-based software company with a unique crowdsourcing business model, announced today the launch of their new fundraising campaign Follow the White Laptop. The campaign kicked off by delivering a new white MacBook to Guy Kawasaki the former Apple evangelist, in hopes of him signing it and sending it off to another technology rock star.

The goal of the campaign is to get as many signatures from luminaries in the technology sector as possible and then auction it off on eBay early next year, says Michael Sikorsky, CEO of Cambrian House. This is a great cause that all our employees are passionate about, and I feel it is important as a company to sometimes step back from our everyday operations and focus some energy to giving back to those who are less fortunate.

All proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Youth for Technology Foundation, an international non-profit organization that seeks to bridge the digital canyon among disadvantaged communities in developing countries, starting with the continent of Africa.

The company is hoping the laptop gets passed onto a diverse range of technology entrepreneurs including people like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Kevin Rose (Digg.com), Steve Jobs (Apple), Ze Frank (zefrank.com), and Chris DeWolfe (MySpace). We are very lucky to have Guy Kawasaki kick off our campaign, and we look forward to seeing who he sends it off to, says Sikorsky.

Mobile Technology: New Drug of Choice for the Backpacking Internet Generation

London (PRWEB UK) 5 November 2011

Whether its a laptop (17%), an iPad (5%), or a smartphone (26%), young backpackers are keen to make sure that they can stay connected.

While the technology manufacturers like Apple are clearly getting something right, Gap Daemon have identified this as an opportunity in the independent travel market.

Designed as a 21st century travel companion, Gap Daemon offers users a map-based website which combines social networking with travel information online. The result is an interactive companion which helps you plan, share and save your travel experiences.

As technology becomes more mobile and easier to use on the move, Gap Daemon lets you stay in touch, plan your trips, share your experiences, and gain more from your gap year says James Capon, CEO Gap Daemon

The survey of 500 young adults conducted by Gap Daemon also showed 19% of travellers have experimented with drugs while travelling and 10% have had unprotected sex. We can only assume that full details of these exploits will be shared with their wider social network proving once again that what goes on tour stays online.

The vibrant new site is already growing its community and has a wealth of useful information. But the real opportunity that Gap Daemon has identified is to allow its users to drive this information and advice. As an impartial and independent service, Gap Daemon is providing a platform for its users to get the most out of their gap years.

Take a look at the full survey results.
