Ubershare, a newly launched website that allows people to offer and earn rewards for spreading messages has stood up to spread awareness for the Japan Relief effort. The website was launched on 11th April and realized that it can use its platform to spread message for this noble cause. The campaign was started by Ubershare earlier this week, and now successfully garnered support from over 120 companies participating at SXSW 2011 Conference.

Says Founder Jason White, “We noticed there were a few very respectable efforts at the South By Southwest conference to raise funds and awareness for Japan, but from our discussions with conference attendees, none of these efforts seemed to be getting significant exposure.” White added “SXSW seems to have an incredible mix of creative, brilliant and connected people who can use their resources to support this type of cause and we realized the technology we built in Ubershare to spread messages could be used to raise cause awareness within that community.”

The website published an announcement with information on Red Cross donation and SXSW relief effort. Additionally, it also extending $1 in donations for every person visiting its support page www.ubershare.com/japan and spreading the message, up to $10,000. Pushing more efforts, it also pledged a free pass to SXSW 2011 Conference to the person spreading awareness aggressively.  Meanwhile, Jason White got hundreds of posters printed and convinced the exhibiting companies  for putting them on their stalls and exhibition hall.  And guess the result? By the day’s end, more than 120 companies had the posters on their stalls. Moreover, they also used their social media channels and provided financial assistance to support the initiative taken by Ubershare.com.

In the same vein, it was a Hurricane Party for Japan at SXSW on Sunday night, to support Japan Relief Efforts.  This event was held to raise funds for Red Cross efforts in Japan, and featured a live auction by renowned Texas Auctioneer George Vaught.
