Social Networking for a Cause

How can we all come together to create a better environment for everyone?

By tweeting of course!

I found it interesting how people have come together and united under one cause. In the article 6 Ways Brands are Using Social Media For Real-World Action by Daniel Stein and How Mega Charity Events Harness The Power of Social Media by Geoff Livingston, it is noted that more and more brands are using their influence to help people.

Stein writes about how by having a tweet and ending it with #beatcancer, a penny would be donated towards beating cancer. The tag was used over 681,000 times which raised significant amount of money through social networking.

I think its something that charities can really tap into to make more money so as social networking develops, so can the amount of resources towards charities can be utilized.
