Yahoo! Japan is conducting a charity event that the company will donate 10 yen per every person who search for “3.11” on Yahoo! search today. The donation will be used for recovery of Tohoku region where was hit by a huge earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis. Yahoo! Japan conducted this charity event also last year, and the company had set an upper limit to 5 million yen corresponding to 50 thousand searchers. However, over 250 thousand people had searched for “3.11” in that day, and finally Yahoo! Japan ignored the upper limit, then over 25 million yen was donated. I didn’t know this charity event last year, but I participated to it this year. I wonder how many people search for “3.11” on Yahoo! search today.
