XO ComputerRecently, I wrote about Give One, Get One (GOGO), a groundbreaking program that provides child-centered, energy efficient ‘XO’ computers to underprivileged children around the world. For $200, you can send a computer to a child, and for $400, a child in your life gets in the on the fun. I’m pleased to announced that the organization behind GOGO, One Laptop Per Child, is extending the GOGO program now through December 31st! This is a truly unique philanthropic opportunity with a technology twist that benefits many!

If that’s not enough excitement about GOGO, PRIZEY, everyone’s favorite go-to site for wonderful giveaways and contests around the web, is giving away an XO laptop for one lucky winner! The brains behind PRIZEY, Z Recommends, has purchased an XO, and will be testing it out for review before the giveaway ends. The contest rules are as follows, from PRIZEY:

“PRIZEY will accept daily entries for the XO Laptop giveaway from November 20 through January 4. To enter, check the righthand sidebar of PRIZEY each day you’d like to send an entry, where we’ll post a “magic word” to be used in that day’s entry, as well as occasional chances for extra entries. Send us an email to prizey.laptop (at) gmail (dot) com with the word, and you’ll be entered for that day.

The last entries will be accepted on January 4, 2008, and PRIZEY will then select a winner at random from all valid entries. Assuming that by that date ZRecs has received the XO laptop and had two weeks preparing a review, the laptop will be shipped to the winner the second week of January.”

Daily entries!? Revolutionary computer?! Get in on the holiday giveaway craziness while the giving is hot!

Thanks to Jeremiah for reminding me about GOGO, and for hosting this awesome contest!

I’ve been entering each day myself - as excited about getting one for my lil one as I am about sending a second one to a child in need. Woo-hoo, GoGo and Prizey!

I think that this computer is wonderful for the children of 3rd world countries. It gives them a chance to forget how bad they have it, just to have some fun in their life. Finally, these kids will have the chance to be a kid. To experience all the joys (and more) that an american child can have.
