This was the address: http://ecommconf.com/blog/2009/01/5000-dollar-to-help-5-year-olds.html It's nowhere to be found, and when I search for snippets out of your excerpted text (for example, "Let’s have a public test of the effectiveness of social media"), I can only find this site. Any idea what happened to that effort? I happened to be closing browser windows and noticed a 404 error for the eComm blog entry related to your post. This was the address:

Like the one that Richard mentions above. It would be a more compelling scenario if participants had the option to support a homelessness initiative in their own community.

He wants people to sign up for his conference newsletter, and he's willing to pay 50 cents per sign-up to a charity. There's nothing wrong with that initiative, but I wouldn't try to dress it up as something that it isn't. Besides, if it's a genuine expression of "a public test of the effectiveness of social media", then they should have chosen an international cause. I'm sure The Shelter Network is a worthy organization, but it only helps homeless in San Francisco. That diminishes the incentive for anybody outside San Fran.
