What is MatterBomb?
Picture a little button, a little Mb icon, on any website that contains a product. Click on that little button and up pops a list of your social-media friends. Select one or more of those friends, then click Bomb... KaPow! That product gets shipped directly to their home. You don't need to know their address. They don't need to know yours... MatterBomb takes care of that for you. Gift-giving has never been easier.
It's like email. But, it's real-mail. It's like Paypal. But, instead of cash, it's material items. Imagine a social networking icon that enables one-click gifting and delivery of any purchasable item on the internet. MatterBomb reverses the meaning of bombing from negative to positive.
How does it work?
Just like any other social networking website, you register with a screen-name and a password. But, with MatterBomb, you must also enter a physical mailing address, unknown to other users, for which to receive… matter. (Private and discrete storage of your physical mailing address is the highest priority, and is stored on our secured server.) From that point on, you can physically send or receive any item on the internet to any other MatterBomb user.
How much does it cost?
Joining MatterBomb and using Matterbomb is free to the public. There is a one-percent service fee, charged to the online-retailer, on each item purchased. (The items you are purchasing are usually not free, of course. The cost of the items, and the shipping costs are what they normally would be.)
Surprise Thresholds and Preferences
Preferences can be set so that gifts require approval by the recipient. For instance, if you would not like to have five-thousands cans of SPAM physically delivered to your front door, then you might want to set your "surprise-threshold-preference" to ten items or more; meaning you will be notified of any pending gifts being sent to your doorstep that exceed ten items or more. At that point, you then have the option of rejecting or receiving those gifts. Maybe you like SPAM. Who knows.
The point is, the user has complete control over whether to receive all, some, or none of the intended packages. The recipient, by the way, pays nothing. These are gifts being sent by donors.
Humanitarian Impact
From a humanitarian standpoint, the impact will be tremendous. Let's say a person comes online, two-years from now, as part of the rising-billion. (Approximately one-billion people are coming online within the next decade, known as the rising-billion.) Let's say this person joins MatterBomb and states the case for a dire need of fresh water for their family or village. One-click on a MatterBomb (Mb) Button and a water-filtration system can be sent directly to that person from anyone who wants to help them out. Or, bottled water can be sent; whatever.
Where to Start...
Write the code.
Test the mechanics.
Start with the largest online-retailers and social-media websites:
Work closely with these companies to get the MatterBomb (Mb) Button added as ubiquitously as possible.
Go from there.

One-Click Gifting and Delivery of Anything to Anyone.
Interface is everything. Facebook changed the way we share information. MatterBomb changes they way we share material items (matter). An idea worth sharing, MatterBomb is still at the idea-level. This campaign is to raise the funds to form this world-changing technology company. We hope to far exceed our funding goal. But, 25K will start this ball rolling down a very momentous path.
Why me?
Hey, great ideas can come from anybody. I just happen to be the guy that came up with this one. MatterBomb is going to happen, with or without me; it's what the future wants. I would like to see this happen sooner, however, rather than later. And, I would like to lead the team that makes it happen.
