Just a guess you aren't following "random" companies but rather things you are interested in?

OcculusVR: New Rift is out! [Buy]

SXSW: Tickets on sale now! [Buy]

JKRowling: Just release my new Book [Buy]

Steam: [Some new Triple A game] is released [Buy]

RaspberryPi: New Pi Beowulf cluster available for purchase [Buy]

RedCross: [Some disaster] we need your support [Donate]

(I'm sure a donate will come along if this works)
