    James Hong doesn't hate African AIDS babies

    James Hong - ValleywagThanks to a Valleywag post from earlier today, one of sixteen tech superstars has replied to a message from Curt Hopkins.

    Curt is raising money for an African AIDS awareness program, and so far, every Valley notable that he solicited (except for Odeo's Evan Williams) ignored his e-mail for two weeks. But, says Curt, someone showed the list of non-responders to Hot or Not co-founder James Hong (#15 on the list).

    James (pictured) wrote Curt to explain that he plans his charitable donations through 10 over 100, which James founded. Members pledge to give 10% of their yearly income over $100,000 to charity. So cheers to James, and boo to the rest of you — especially Denton.
