Individual 'can make a difference in social media'

People are being urged to promote charities and not-for-profit organisations using social media or make a donation if they can.
Everyone can make an impact and do something good for charity using social media, an insider has suggested.
Writing on the official Facebook blog, Joe Green, co-founder of an application named Causes, encouraged users to get involved with charitable organsiations using social networks.
He pointed out that people do not need to donate to make a difference, as promoting awareness on social media sites helps share vital information about causes that need help.
Mr Green wrote: "Now, the internet - and social media specifically - is rebuilding the social infrastructure that has been crumbling underneath non-profits for decades."
The Causes application was set up to help people feel empowered to take social and political actions.
Last week it launched the second America Giving Challenge with the Case Foundation and Parade Magazine.
The first Giving Challenge in 2007/08 raised more than $1.8 million [£1.1 million] for hundreds of charities and not-for-profit organisations.
