technology meets charity!

Charities have teamed up with facebook to generate revenue for their causes. Facebook has made "gifts" available on their site for a small fee. This "fee" in turn is sent to the charity that sponsored the gift. Also, facebook plans to incorporate more charities into their site as the number of members grows rapidly. Personally, I think it's an amazing idea for facebook to try to include charities into their overwhelmingly popular site. This creates a voice for a lot of charities that go un-noticed. They need to create a safe and efficient way for members to pay directly to the charity, with the attempt of elimating the middle man. Overall, i approve. Way to go facebook!
