I'm running to keep up: PayPal donations now poss!

I'll come back  and say some more later.

Total has already superceded my photo. Magnificent £4 grand came in today.

Total now £112,730. Keep it rolling.

New Blipfuture post from BlipCentral. Key development is new PayPal donation facility. Suggest you link this to your journal until the negotiations with the new owners  (start date 12 Jan)  are concluded. Showing momentum and a continued growth in the pledge total and the number of pledgers and donors is essential. It could be the difference between oblivion and success. Not kidding.

I've drafted an invitation to help save Blipfoto with links below. Please copy (and amend) if you want to paste it into your journal.

Invitation to help save Blipfoto


Dear Friends,

If you look at this journal and/or others in Blipfoto I invite you to help us in our fundraising efforts buy Blipfoto from its current owners and turn it into a community-owned photo-journaling site.

The minimum target is £180,000. So far we have pledged £107,455.

You can invest in or donate to the new company, Blipfuture CIC (a Community Interest Company) either by buying shares (if you live in the European Union, European Free Trade Area or Switzerland) or by donating if you live outside these areas.

By far the easiest way to donate small amounts is via our PayPal donation page here.

Please note that donations made via PayPal will be taken immediately from your bank account and be transferred to BlipFuture CIC. This differs for investments made via the Blipfuture crowdsourcing link here. These will only be taken from investor bank accounts when the minimum target of £180,000 is reached.

Thank you for considering making a donation. Blipfuture faces crucial negotiations with the owners of Blipfoto in the next few days and every penny will count in convincing the owners to agree to take forward the sale.
