Collective choice?
Supporters of US republican candidate Ron Paul collected 6 million in one day. You can see how the money was donated on this graph. I find it really interesting how straight the line of this graph is going:

The last ‘money bomb’ ended at almost exactly 4 million, and it was as if supporters collectively (and subconsciously) decided that 6 million should be the new target.
(The relation to Helpalot is that it’s about the collective wisdom. Something Helpalot is trying to tap into, in order to make it easier to find trustworthy charity projects.)
