In less than 24 hours, I've raised $806 to help children in Cambodia using a new feature in Facebook Causes. Every year I do a fundraising campaign using social media. After donating $26 to FreeGeek to honor Amy's 26th birthday, I went poking around Causes to see if I could install the application. It's easy to set up.

I actually joined Twitter because I had just submitted my entry into the Ideablob contest and there were links to share your entry on "social media" so I clicked on Twitter and that was that. This was interesting to me -- that people joined the Facebook social networking site specifically because I (Lend4Health) was there.

The viewers/donors might look similar to what we see on Facebook causes but we will wait until we have some real data before speculating further. Another approach — not as good for the nonprofits but maybe more acceptable to Google — would be more like the Facebook approach. Do social networks drive donations?

A place that blogs, that engages in social networking sites, that tries experiments, and reports about all of it honestly. They just finished a YouTube video contest.

create and manage a Facebook group or page, or a MySpace page. There are many third party applications like Wordpress and Blogger on which you can host a blog with very little technical knowledge. Not satisfied with the puny 140 character limit on Twitter? If you have 5-10 hours per week, become a content provider. Start a blog.

Facebook is the second big social networking site behind MySpace. Facebook used to be only open to college students but, realizing they couldn’t play with the big boys, opened to the public about a year ago. Facebook is still independent — they haven’t been bought by any big company yet.

Facebook is for slow burn, Twitter is for ADD. By contrast, Facebook favors a groundswell of support: as more and more of your friends like something, you do too. The duration of your campaign affects which social networks you’ll rely on. We shouldn’t have wasted time on Facebook for a campaign of this duration.
