Would you support charity: water again, or would you like to support another cause?
Yes

If no, which charity? (include url with http://)

I thought it was better to ask our community and on the same question on twitter.

In your own words, what did this experience mean to you?

Incredible way to give back and to those less fortunate. Everyone was so supportive of this event to do good and have fun doing it. We have built a large social networking community here in the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, NC). We have done a lot to help each through sharing knowledge and technical skills, and it is time to give something back. We are harnessing the power of social media for social change.
