Philly company accepting donations for Wikileaks

A tech startup based in Philadelphia says it is taking donations for Wikileaks.

Xipwire (pronounced Zipwire) says on its website that anyone who wishes to support Wikileaks through a donation should be able to do so.

The company says WikiLeaks supporters will be able to donate either through their website, or by text message if they have a Xipwire account. The announcement comes after MasterCard, along with a string of U.S.-based companies - including Visa, Amazon.com and PayPal - cut ties to WikiLeaks amid intense U.S. government pressure.

Xipwire says it is waiving all fees so that 100% of the donations collected will be directly passed on to WikiLeaks.
