Jinni Launches & Donates to Best Friends Animal Society!
October 5th, 2009 by PhoebeYou Click. We Donate. Save a Life.
To celebrate our public beta launch in a meaningful way, we’re proud to be donating to Best Friends Animal Society, the largest no-kill animal rescue organization. For a limited time, we’re donating for each person who signs up FREE! – so Jinni is a better way to find movies in more ways than one.
How you can help:
♦ Sign up free for Jinni here!
♦ Invite friends to Jinni – each sign-up adds to the Best Friends donation
♦ Blogger or writer? Love animals and/or movies? Email us to let us know if you’d like to write about the donation campaign, and we’ll be happy to answer questions and provide materials.
♦ Tell your friends on Twitter to donate to @BFAS by signing up free for @JinniDotCom at http://www.jinni.com/join.html
♦ Tag Jinni and Best Friends in an update on Facebook (learn more about tagging)
About the campaign:
Jinni is a company of animal – and movie! - lovers, so when we decided we wanted to spend the marketing budget for our launch in a more meaningful and satisfying way, Best Friends looked like the perfect partner. We believe it’s a great opportunity to support an important cause while drawing a new audience to try Jinni. We’ll be donating up to $10,000 to Best Friends over a period of one month, for the first 100,000 people who sign up to Jinni in public beta.
Just as Jinni opens to the public, Best Friends is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Best Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit, membership organization building no-kill programs and partnerships that will bring about a day when there are No More Homeless Pets. The society’s leading initiatives in animal care and community programs are coordinated from its Kanab, Utah, headquarters, the country’s largest no-kill sanctuary. This work is made possible by the personal and financial support of a grassroots network of members and community partners across the nation.
Get even more involved:
*A one-time donation of $5 will be added to your mobile phone bill or deducted from your prepaid balance. Standard messaging rates and additional fees may apply. All charges are billed by and payable to your mobile service provider. Service is available on most carriers. Donations are collected for the benefit of Best Friends Animal Society by the Mobile Giving Foundation and subject to the terms found at www.mGive.com/A. You can unsubscribe at any time by texting STOP to 90999.

Jack, I’m really sorry for the inconvenience. This was a temporary error that we’re fixing now so it doesn’t happen again.

Congrats on your launch!! As a jinni beta tester, I’ve enjoyed using jinni and love how I can link jinni to my Netflix account. As someone who loves animals, I think your launch donation campaign is wonderful, and have posted news about it to help spread the word.

I can’t sign up for the life of me. I put in my user and pass, got everything right. Try to log in, nothing. In firefox, now, any user password combo I enter fails. If I try to recover my password I get a 500 error. I’m interested in the project, so if you get all that stuff fixed and I can finally log in could you email me at the email address I listed with this blog and let me know you’re up and running?

DucoNihilum, I’m sorry for the frustration with signing up. The problem you experienced was due to temporary issues on Jinni caused by high volumes of traffic. We’re working on fixing these issues now, and you should already be able to sign up with no problem.
