It's all about children...

Hydra is not just a browser, it's a cool looking browser (with a lot of tools included...). Hydra is also free, and will remain free for as long as you decide to use it. But Hydra is much, much more than just another piece of software available on the Internet and on your computer. Hydra is a way to help the others, and thus to help yourself. Hydra is about people who need help, and above all - Hydra is about children... In all truth, Hydra was just an exercise in programming at its beginnings, but as the time was passing by, it has grown to a fully equiped web browser which - somewhat to my surprise - was more than well accepted from several people that decided to give it a shot. Then I started to think... What can I do with it? Of course, the only logical option was to continue its development further and to try to make it as solid and as good as possible. So I continued... In the meantime, I ran accross a page that lists Firefox myths. I won't go into the quarrell and the statements listed there should be taken cum grano salis, but one thing draw my attention - I was stunned to see that Firefox is making millions of dollars per year and is - in fact - a real cash cow for its founders! How on earth do they succeed? The answer was simple - through affiliation. They've affiliated with Google (don't know if there are any others companies included...), and made a real fortune out of the deal. Then it occured to me that I can do the same - and so I did. Hydra is affiliated with a whole bunch of quality sites and service providers, including Amazon, Google, Skype, Pingo, Expedia, Pageflakes, Hotels.com, Entrepreneur magazine and a number of others. Each time someone uses one of these services using Hydra links, Hydra makes bucks, that's the truth. The idea was great, especialy since Hydra already had a system of predefined favorites and presets. But then I watched the news, and saw some little girl over at Carribean eating mud (yes, mud...) to survive. The sight was so sad that I was deeply moved and ashamed, but I felt helpless... What can I - as an individual - could do to make things right for that girl, or for any other child in the world for that matter. And then I had another idea - I alone had no power at all, and I couldn't have changed anything, but I had a tool in my possession that had that power! It's Hydra! What if I put Hydra's business potential in the service of something good? What if I offer the opportunity to people to use a tool that is fun to use anyway, and that by using it people are able to help those children? Do you buy on Amazon? Do you surf the net? Do you buy on iTunes? When you go to your next hollidays, would you use Hotels.com or Expedia services to find a suitable accomodations and to book a cheaper flight for you and your family? When you do use those services, what if someone tells you - "ok, now you have a choice - you can either pay for these services and we'll retain all of your money, or you can pay the same amount as you would otherwise, but part of it will go to the Unicef's fonds for helping children. Which would you choose?" If your answer is 'the second', then Hydra can help, because Hydra is giving you the choice. Hydra is not just a browser, it's a way for people to help other people, and above all the children. You can help just by downloading and using Hydra... No donations, no calls to helplines, no cost whatsoever... Just do what you do everyday, surf the web... You can help more by spreading the news, and telling your friends and your colleagues about the project. Maybe you alone may not save a child's life, but if you find two more people who think and feel like you, you just might! Together, we can really make the difference, because if we can save life of just one child, and get the smile back to just one mother's face, wouldn't it all be worthwhile? There's a choice right before you, so choose the right thing - download Hydra today and help make this world a happier place for children. How Hydra helps?
