Next Gen Giving: Charity and Social Networks: "Want to lend me a few bucks?!?
You'll feel better if you do. You'll meet lots of new friends. You won't really risk a thing. And my life will be forever changed - for the better.
That's the embedded promise of what's various social lending, online giving and Web-based micro-finance. This new tech trend combines the online power of social networking with inherent human instincts of cooperation and generousity to create the charitable Web."

Glad I found this old post! Very interesting idea.
The organization I'm involved with, www.uPlej.com, have also combined social networking with charitable giving.
Great to see more ways for online giving to spread!
