The Internet is in trouble! And we need YOUR help!

[Eileen Smith]

Why is the Internet in trouble? Well, you know about Net Neutrality, don't you? If not, check out this amazing video that the HPA and Free Press contributed on featuring all our favorite Internet celebs:

So what are WE (yes that includes you) going to do to save the Internet? Well... we are forming the Society to Protect Everyone’s Websites! That’s right, S.P.E.W.! Once a week we will fill your lives with awesomeness about this new coalition! You have the opportunity to get involved and inspire others to learn about Net Neutrality. Why would you want to do this? You house of awesomer, you to earn points to help in your fight world suck. For all the points you earn, you will be rewarded with 1. HPA staffers doing fun and crazy Livestreams, 2. Andrew making a crazy video, and 3. Have the opportunity to get your blog or video featured on the HPA main site!

For this challenge, everyone automatically belongs to the House of Awesome. Once a week we will post a different question relating to Net Neutrality. You will gain points for the following:

1. Write a blog post about it (20 points)
2. Make a video (50 points) (if you make it with 3 or more people, you get 75 points!)
3. Upload a relevant picture (10 points)
4. Comment on blogs/House walls (5 point)
5. Participate in a conversation on the forum about it (5 point)
6. Update bio/relevant status updates (10 points)

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: for everyone to reach 2000 points altogether!

Stay tuned! The first question will be posted tomorrow.

Hey Holly! Great Question, you can submit a form whenever you earn points, but if you plan on doing a lot of point earning at once please put all the points you earned on one form

[Holly]

Question: Do you want us to submit the form each time we participate? Or once a week? Or total at the end?
