Here’s a PR move that also includes “doing the right thing.” College-student developers behind the Gushers iPhone game will donate all proceeds from the game sales to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.
If you’re not familiar, you should know that Gushers is an oil exploration-themed game that was released at the end of last year. It’s made to closely analog an actual oil drilling environment, but also emphasizes safe oil techniques through various game elements. So far, Gushers has received pretty positive reviews by players and reviewers alike. In total, more than 10,000 users have downloaded the game.
As for the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund, as you may know, it’s an NGO that is working extensively to provide emergency assistance to fishermen whose livelihoods were affected by the Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill.
We like the idea and are suggesting you either buy the game, or donate as much as you can to the Fund…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
