Two suggestions: Put together a short video explaining the idea and how it’ll work (and ideally but not crucially snippets spoken by cragislist CEOs). Also, look for famous people in relevant fields and try to get them to support the idea publicly.
I’d love to see an unedited transcript or video of Jim speaking at the UBS conference. I think to get one we’d have to contact all of the media companies that were there and ask them if they could help us. Jim may have done a couple TV appearances in company history but he is certainly not regularly filmed speaking as Craigslist CEO. If we succeed in making contact with them them, I guess we could get snippets just for our use, but it seems unlikely to me.
A two minute video could be good. I wonder if we could get any celebrities on board… 30 seconds of endorsements from important and famous people would make this idea seem more believable to people. Or 30 seconds of people affiliated with non profits talking about what they could do to help the world if they had five million dollars.
I suppose I was concerned that this worthy cause could get lost in the perpetual flood of “corporation X will do something-or-other if 100,000 people join this particular group” emails.
I don’t necessarily mean mainstream celebrities but rather getting people in the IT and/or charity sector that are hubs for idea dissemination can be a short-cut to spreading the word on something like this.
