Secret Santa 2010 already got some nice press from the Daily Pennsylvanian, which wrote:
"As cliched as it might sound at this time of year, the sentiment of
doing something for someone else’s happiness ... really punctures a
hole in the cynicism we are only too eager to associate with the
internet today. The generosity and fun-lovingness demonstrated in the
actions of 17,000 individuals reminds us that there are good people in
the world who want to do good things, and the internet can be a
wonderful facilitator for them..."
