Industry: Internet & Online

Press Release Summary: ThatRandomWebsite.com, a traffic redirection and randomised
homepage service, has pledged to give 10% of its revenue to help breast cancer
charities. The website, run by a young entrepreneur living in Montreal, Canada,
aims to raise at least US$100,000 for this cause.

Press Release Body: ThatRandomWebsite is run by 25-year-old Briton David Atkinson
from his apartment in Montreal, and works by redirecting traffic towards external
webpages. Every time the website is opened a different page is shown - randomly
chosen from a database of possible websites. This database is the backbone of the
website, potentially holding one million such sites - and each of the \"slots\" that
make it up is being sold for just US$1. So, purchasing slots in this database will
mean that a proportion of ThatRandomWebsite\'s traffic will be redirected to a
buyer\'s website. Up-to-date statistics are available on the site, showing how many
hits each slot should currently expect per day, and how many slots are still left.

Not only is this a business solution in the form of cheap traffic, but it is an
entertaining coffee break for any internet user. Like a window onto the World Wide
Web, by showing a different internet site every time the site is opened or refreshed
the user gets a quick sample of what the internet has to offer.

"Breast cancer is the leading cancer among white and African American women", and
"every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with [it]" (source:
breastcancer.org). "The lifetime risk for breast cancer in women is one in nine"
(source: info.cancerresearchuk.org). Breast cancer is a more important issue now
than ever before: the number of cases has risen since the 1970s, especially among
younger women.

Of course, the entrepreneur also stands to make something from the website - what
does he plan to spend the money on? \"Well of course there is the student debt, but
it would also allow me to take a full time French course. My girlfriend is French
Canadian, and it would be really nice to be able to speak to her family!\"
