02/25/05 - Sun Microsystems Teams With Bono to Fulfill His Wish for One Million Voices to Join the ONE Campaign
In March 2005, Sun Microsystems' will power up a system to "elist" names for the One Campaign using a creative combination of Java technology, java.com site participation and technologies from Voxiva. Individuals will be able to Join Bono in the fight to end the cycles of poverty and the devastation of AIDS simply by sending a text message from their mobile phone or any other Java-powered device. The text message will be a "first kiss" establishing a link between the individual and the One Campaign at www.theonecampaign.org. Enrollment is confirmed with an email and a new ringtone offered from the java.com site, and the result will be hundreds of thousands of voices being added to petitions for change in governmental policies that address these critical health and economic issues.
