I have a birthday coming up and over the weekend I received an email from Causes, the social change application in Facebook. Whether you want to raise money for clean water in Ethiopia, vaccinations for children in Haiti, or a safe home for a puppy in Mississipi, with a Birthday Cause your friends can give in honor of your special day.

In less than 24 hours, I've raised $806 to help children in Cambodia using a new feature in Facebook Causes. Why? After donating $26 to FreeGeek to honor Amy's 26th birthday, I went poking around Causes to see if I could install the application. I think this is application might just be a winner: It meshes with Facebook culture.

And I know you’ve got a little cold, but that’s what children give you. When I was 9 years old, I told my parents who were volunteers in a lot of ways, our church, the summer celebration, political campaigns, I told them that I thought I wanted to help everyone in Minnesota, and so I should try to be governor of Minnesota.
