One Million Free Flip Video Camcorders to Highlight World Issues

Pure Digital Technologies, the makers of the Flip Video YouTube Camcorder, have announced that they are to give away one million free Flip Video camcorders over the next five years to non-profit organisations to help them document world issues and highlight the invaluable work they do across the globe – and its all thanks to a certain Bill Clinton.

In the press release Jonathan Kaplan, the CEO of Pure Digital Technologies, states ‘Non-profit organizations do incredible everyday work that the public rarely sees. Imagine the impact that video would make if every on-the-ground staff member or volunteer had both a camcorder and the ability to broadcast their message to the world.’

The camcorders are due to be distributed from today via Clinton Global Interactive and PDT’s Flip Video Spotlight Website with PDT offering a purchase one get one free deal for those organisations that are accepted by the scheme.
