Forget Chatroulette, KittehRoulette is much less shocking and much more worthwhile. This is a brilliantly simple site using random YouTube kitteh content to help generate money to fight animal cruelty.
$20M on commercials? Shoo, we’ll just give it to people in need. Brilliant!!! Instead of Super Bowl commercials Pepsi pulled a Judo move and opted for this social media contest to support the greater good.

This is the fastest and most generous results the Red Cross has ever had and many speculate that it’s because of sites like Twitter and Facebook that the message spread so naturally.
A nice little community/social/fundraising campaign that spreads via Facebook Connect and Twitter. Great way for PayPal to spread awareness for their product I think. Real-time rankings make for a pretty dynamic fruitcake site.
