The $39 Experiment

Tom Locke was looking at a $39 roll of stamps sitting on his desk one day and came up with an idea. Write letters to 100 companies telling them how much he loved their products, and then asking them to send him some freebies. He says it's a "social experiment" and surprisingly, a few companies have actually sent him some swag. Way to go, Tom! Good luck with it, dude.

Tom's got a blog called The $39 Experiment where he'll update the world on the progress of the great "gimme free stuff" social experiment.
