Collaborative storytelling is now available via Facebook, with $1,000 in cash
prizes

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- While most social media sites
help connect people in the virtual world, SendMeHome.com aims to forge
connections through real-world objects by allowing users to create a
collaborative blog about a physical object. To help users more easily connect
and create great stories SendMeHome.com is making its free service available
to 175 million Facebook users.

SendMeHome.com's new Facebook application allows story authors and
contributors to share their creations in bold new ways. Stories can be shared
virally through news feeds, wall posts, and direct invitations. In addition,
users can view the Facebook profile of any author and also receive Facebook
notifications when a story they like is updated. All these features will serve
to virally spread great stories and connect people with like-minded
individuals they may have otherwise never met.

To accompany this launch, SendMeHome.com is announcing $1,000 in cash prizes
in its "Cash for Creativity" competition. The competition can be entered by
anyone for free -- all that is needed is an object, an Internet connection,
and some creativity. 

The $1,000 in prize money will be divided into four separate awards. Three
cash prizes will be given to the users who create stories that acquire the
largest number of followers by May 4th. A fourth prize will be given to the
user who creates a story that exhibits the most creativity as determined by
SendMeHome.com's two founders. More information is available at:

SendMeHome's Stories launched in January and users have already collaborated
to share cooking tips, collect monologues, discuss political events, and even
transport a statue to Easter Island. An example story can be found at:
