"Sad Keanu Reeves" Meme Gets a Charitable URL Shortner: Kea.nu

Those of you more plugged in to the meme side of the 'net will have already heard of "Sad Keanu Reeves," a particularly poignant image of The Matrix (and Little Buddha!) star eating a sandwich on a park bench. Well, one journalist and Mashable contributor, Shane Snow, has found a way to take this melancholy meme and spin it toward social good.

Snow has created a URL shortener — http://kea.nu — that allows you to both easily and simply share links, get in on the most recent viral memes and benefit the charity, Stand Up 2 Cancer. All you have to do is enter the link you want shortened, and then do what you will with it (i.e. share it to Facebook, Twitter, etc). When your friends and followers click on said link, they will be directed to an ad as well as the iconic "Sad Keanu Reeves" image. The user can then click through to the link.

This isn't the first time we've seen a URL shortener used for charitable purposes — Good.ly donates 55% of referrals fees to a charity of your choice if you use it to create a link to a product or service online. Kea.nu, however, works with all links and donates 100% of money generated to charity.

So why Stand Up 2 Cancer? According to Snow, Reeves's sister has Leukemia, and the actor is actively involved in promoting cancer research and charities.

And for those of you worried about the toll the tool will take on your Twitter feed, Snow assures us, "After a couple weeks, we'll 301 redirect the url so there is no more ad and your SEO can flow like Jay-Z."

Nice.

What other memes would you like to see turned into charitable ventures?

I find the hipocracy staggering, ok sad keanu isnt on the same level as 9/11 but all you "people" are laughing at someone who has had so much crap in his life who is obviously depressed but as soon as someone mocks up a fake 9/11 picture you all get all high and mighty about it?

Ridiculous.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
