Amateur Ringtone Site to Match Donations
No we are not talking about Jamster or Dirty Hippo; we are talking about a small amateur ringtone site by the name of Nextpimp.com.They are willing to match all donations 100 percent up to $5,000 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina that has devastated the Gulf coast of Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
