2.Causeswww.facebook.com/appcenter/causes(Opens in a new window)Want to make a difference via Facebook? This is the app for activists who want to take advantage of social networking to spread the word and raise funds for important social or political causes. Sometimes all supporters have to do to raise a few cents is watch a commercial (and take a quiz), but there's also an option to donate directly. And, of course, there are plenty of petitions to sign. Maybe yours will be the next influential one.
