Most bitcoin faucets have a catch. You usualy need to do something in return for the virtual currency reward. For example, the website Surf4bitcoin.com requires you to download and install a browser plugin which tracks your surfing habits. Once a month they host a drawing and award one lucky user 50 Bitcoins. That is a wopping $50,000 USD value at the time of writing this article!

Bunny Run awards winners a fraction of a Bitcoin if the enter their wallet address and pick the first, second, or third place bunny in a game. Some faucets payout out quickly and others take more time. Some only payout once. As mentioned before, a few only award lucky winners with Bitcoin.

The reason Bitcoin faucets exist is to attract attention and traffic to a website. In addition some seek to also generate additonal advertising revenue to further monetize that traffic.

Here is a large list of Bitcoin faucets, Bong-Bitcoin. This site organizes the faucets by payout interval. Don’t forget that other crypto currencies also offer faucets. Both Litecoin and Ripple, the number 2 and 3 virtual currencies by market cap to Bitcoin have faucets available.

A bunch of celebrities are helping the cause. The likes of Usher and Justin Timberlake helped Keep a Child Alive raise $1 million in 2010. Lady gaga worked with HIV/AIDS programs to raise $202 million. Other celebs helped The Berry Family Children through the “Show Your Hearts” campaign too.

Best car brand on social media [INFOGRAPHIC]

The best car brand on social media was determined using seven criteria across three top social media networks. The top 10 Facebook fan pages were looked at and ranked by number of fans and engagement rate. The top 10 official Twitter accounts were ranked by followers and engagement as well. And the top 10 official YouTube accounts were measured for subscribers, video views and nuber of videos uploaded.

Overall Audi came out on top for two of the criteria. BMW, Aston Martin, Porsche, Kia, and Toyota won one time for each of the remaining six. You could hand the “king of social media” crown to Audi, but is is too close to tell. Otherwise if you assign a point system where number 1 in a category gets 10 points and number 10 gets 1 point, Audi still wins with 43 points. BMW comes in second with 41 points. Ferrari rounds out the top 3 with 34 points.
