AOK, LLC: AOK is a fun and challenging way to get acknowledged for contributing to, sharing, and becoming aware of the millions of Acts of Kindness happening somewhere on the planet every day. It's a "social game for social good", which means that while you're excelling at the game and gaining status among other users, you're probably also becoming more socially aware and empathetic towards others and your surroundings. Playing AOK well and often, you may see SWAG and/or discounts come your way, and your accumulated points convert into "Cause Currency", aka donations to real world charities and relief efforts. You may even see unpredictable and creative, digital evidence of your impact on your immediate social networks, casual and professional social circles, local communities and, who knows, maybe even something bigger. www.AOK.tv
