Clickable A4 for Flat World Knowledge. E- newsletters are a low hanging fruit.

All you have to do is ad the TinyPurls and Smart QR. Then use USPS to send 350 each to 200 Flat World Knowledge users. Reward them with credits for the print stuff. 70,000 leaflets on the street in a day or two, with a minimal carbon footprint with a $960 distribution cost. Plus all that data from the click streams.

Students are Saving $3 Million!

Thank you for all of your support over the past year. We've gone from 30 schools and 1,000 students this past spring, to 430 schools and 40,000 students this fall, using Flat World textbooks!

This means students and their families will save nearly $3 million on textbooks this semester. This makes us proud, and BUSY.

Read all about it in Read Write Web, Wired, BNET, VentureBeat, Information Week, and ZD Net.
