I wonder how it works.
The website says "This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site." Is the money coming from placing the ads or the users have to click on the ads?
Also, is the money enough?

the money comes from the ads at the bottom, the users don't have to click them. every time that you click on a word the page refreshes, thus a new ad appears.

More rice added
There is also www.thehungersite.com which is a similar thing - but you just click a button. You can only go once a day.

I bought a bunch of clothes from The Hunger Site a few years back.

It's a cute site and idea. Almost too cute.
I can't find a note on it anywhere that the company is a nonprofit.
FreeRice does seem to have fancy UN backing.
Still, I'd hate to think that he might be making a fortune by selling ads and getting all of us to participate and nobody has thought to ask about the overhead / profit motive / etc.
Am I too cynical?
Did I miss anyplace where he provides details on his financials?
