Promoting Your Cause in Facebook
Everywhere you turn, you're hearing about the power of MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networks. But can real nonprofits truly see the benefits behind all the hype?
Clearly, there's a lot of potential for gaining new supporters with these online tools, but many nonprofit organizations struggle to determine how they can fit into a social network application alongside for-profits and social groups. Project Agape is one of the initial Facebook Platform partners, launching Causes on Facebook. This new functionality extends the groups features and makes it possible for users to create causes, take donations, and recruit members. Join us as we explore the power of social networks and learn how to set up your own Cause on Facebook.

Looks cool. But I wonder - why isn't Change.org doing this as well? I understand that the Facebook platform is open to everyone? I think it would be great if you could do everything on Change.org within Facebook. I think that would drive lots of traffic and activity.
Anyway, great to see Facebook being used for good!
