Do you do FaceBook? It’s the new (and cleaner) MySpace. (See, don’t I sound all hip and cool.) Anyway, I recently joined up, and they have a new application called Causes on it. It allows people to spread the word about their cause. So for example – say you really want to help people learn about foster care and the importance of kids finding a good home, then you could start your cause and people can join in, have conversations about it, tell their friends about it, and give money to a specific charity that supports foster care, locally or internationally. I wanted to mention it here because, being big into the Non-Profit world, I’m excited about applications like this and how that will change non-profits and how they raise money and awareness. Read more about Causes and then maybe you’ll want to join in. I normally don’t suggest social networking things. Usually they seem here one day, crazy the next, in the tabloids the next, and gone the next. But, this causes thing is interesting. I started a Cadence cause to see how it goes. If you get on FaceBook you can look it up or look me up.
