Social Networks for Charity

So this isn’t totally irrelevant:

My brother, Matt Bishop, has started a social enterprise whose goal is to use social media, and social network analysis (aka “social analytics”) to help charitable groups raise money, and help businesses do their part as well.

iGiveMore is launching tomorrow.  They already offer some services, but they need our help to raise money (and publicity) so that every month that passes they have more to offer.

Check out their website, and then I hope you’ll consider donating, and emailing or posting a link to iGiveMore on facebook.

Thanks,

Mike
