As the charitable giving season approaches, Hitwise Australia and New Zealand reports that freerice.com has taken the number one rank position amongst other humanitarian websites visited by Australian and New Zealand Internet users. For the week ending 18 November 2007, the site captured 12% of all visits to humanitarian websites in Australia, and 34% of visits to humanitarian websites in New Zealand.
