Apparently, we made quite an impression with the dedication. This morning, we found this message from Katie Gruver, Marketing Manager for Unitus (Innovative Solutions to Global Poverty ) flaoting in our respective inboxes:
On behalf of the Unitus team… I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks for lighting a fire on our Empowering Women site. Your post on twitter and on your blog has driven a ton of traffic to our site. In fact, I just checked our metrics and Pirillo-related traffic has sent us no less than 15% of our total traffic yesterday/today and marks the 3rd, 7th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th highest drivers to our site (only behind internal links and Seth Godin). You Rock!
Thanks for being our first video posting as well… it turned out great. We’re hopeful that other people will follow in step. And what a great tribute you wrote and filmed… literally, our whole office has been shooting emails back and forth about how fun it is to see the comments coming in.
Ponzi… You’ve generated a windfall! I wanted to let you know that I’ve put Chris’s tribute to you as our “Featured Tribute” on our homepage and throughout the Empowering Women site for the rest of the day. Enjoy!
As noted by the dozens of comments on your tribute page, you obviously have a loyal fan club. If you have any interest in getting more involved with the campaign, we’d love to invite you (and Chris, if he’s interested) to become one of our Empowering Women Ambassadors – these are folks who are helping us spread the word about this opportunity to through their networks, the blogosphere and beyond. I can send more details if you’re interested, but we’d certainly love to leverage your expertise in the online world and any other thoughts you have on how we can help other people take advantage of this opportunity to celebrate the women in their lives and help empower women around the world with microfinance.
I’m not quite sure I’m worthy of being anything more than I already am, but I’d certainly be happy to spread the word. Consider it spread. ;)

ScobleShow (and who once did a video of Mike Murray on MS’s channel 9.) Jeff Barr’s post was another early blogger for the campaign and he built a great tribute to his wife on the Empowering Women site Chris Pirillo twittered about us, blogged about us on on Chris.pirillo.com and LockerGnome and did our first video tribute to his wife and fellow blogger Ponzi. Pirillo-related traffic has been HUGE! Dave Schappell

and how much we both liked her. She asked me, do you think Chris knows what a gem he has got? And I said, “I think he’ll get it eventually, but I don’t think he gets it yet.” And I was wrong. Chris totally gets it. What a genuine and empowering tribute to his better half. I am totally backing Chris up on this one. Ponzi has been an inspiration to me ever since I’ve met her and I consider myself lucky to count her among one of my best friends. Go Ponzi!

This is radical, but when did you guys get married? And how come I wasn’t invited?

This is such exciting news,Chris. Thank you for supporting the “power” of women.
However, your Google Ads on this post include international women for sale and pickups. Not a good combination. ;-)

me was a woman who just got out of detox and is headed toward a five-week program to try to get her off of alcohol addiction. She inspired me because she was obviously tired of how her life was going and wanted to improve it. Chris Pirillo and othersare participating inan empowering women meme that’s passing through my reader right now. Francine Hardaway just told me how she finds her inspiration: she helps abused women start businesses through her foundation. She told me how she was crying on Sunday after her
