Human Powered Cause Discovery

human powered cause discoveryAs I waited for its release, I've always felt SocialSpark held great potential for spreading the word about good causes. I just didn't realize how easy it would be.

I created a free Spark (organic post idea) about Human Powered Cause Discovery and asked bloggers to do 3 things:
1) Create a Spark about their favorite Cause;
2) Blog about their favorite Cause, pointing readers to the Spark they created; and
3) Point readers to the Spark I created so readers can continue the cycle of spreading the word about worthwhile Causes.

It hasn't even been a week and I've already learned about 4 new Causes. Include the Cause I also Spark'd, Tyler's Hope, and that's five Causes immediately benefiting from SocialSpark's growing community -- at no cost to anyone. Those four new Causes include:
1) The Vasculitis Foundation
2) CRY: Child Relief and You
3) Kiva.org: micro-lending in developing countries
4) MS: Multiple Sclerosis

However, it doesn't end there. Let's keep the cycle going. Please take the time, today, to pick a favorite Cause, blog about it, Spark it at SocialSpark, and point readers to my Human Powered Cause Discovery Spark.
