Causes brings social good to your Facebook Timeline


Posted Jan 18, 2012 by

Facebook is a place to express what you care about and connect with friends around those interests. The causes you support are an essential piece of that picture and thanks to our new app for Facebook Timeline, Causes makes it easy to express a fuller picture of who you are and what you care about on your Timeline. We’re so excited that you’ll be able to highlight the pledges you take, the petitions you sign, the causes you join and the other things that help tell a rich story about who you are and what you care about.



One of the simplest and best ways to help your cause is to raise awareness around it by sharing with your friends. Sharing is fundamental to spreading movements and achieving social change. It makes you an advocate and helps spread the word. Causes is the best tool for sharing your causes with friends and family — taking action and sharing it is the core of what people do on Causes. Now we’re taking the next step to enable you to express your passion on Facebook Timeline.



Social change is, well, social. This type of change can’t happen without networks of people discovering ideas, sharing them and working together to take action. People in your network all have causes that they care about and Timeline will make it easy to discover new causes with your friends and share the experience with them. With Causes bringing social good to Facebook Timeline, you can discover what your friends and family care about and help them change the world.

    Can you please tell me why Causes.com has recently changed to force new recruits to install the Facebook timeline feature. We have had several people tell us they are not joining up because they don’t want to install the Facebook timeline feature. They are existing facebook users and don’t want to move yet to timeline.
    Thanks
    Donna

      Hi Donna. We’re asking everyone on Causes, new and old, whether or not they would like the actions they take on Causes to appear on their Facebook Timeline. This is not a requirement for using Causes and people are welcome to not accept when asked.
