Re: Sounds good
That could be useful for some of them. I'll share that with someone I know who runs a nonprofit organization. Thanks, Kristin
Re: Sounds good
The idea of not having one's personal information given to charities is appealing in the sense that the downside of any donation is being bombarded with junkmail and email from that organization for the remainder of your life. Sometimes you just want to give money without joining a mailing list.
Re: Sounds good
No. They've selected 19 large nonprofits to test the button and plan to roll it out to others later. In the meantime, interested nonprofits can submit this form if they're interested in receiving the Donate Now button.
Re: Sounds good
@Kristin is FB only offering the donation button to the causes that pay to advertise on the social network?
Sounds good
Facebook has a history of playing dumb with user data-- "What, you mean you didn't want us to use it that way?"
But as long as they don't do anything blatantly silly with the information they're collecting here, this seems like a good thing. I'm sure many people intended to donate money to charities but never get around to it because they get busy with something else. If we can make the ability to donate as simple and convenient as possible, that sounds like a clear win.

The Business of Going Digital
Digital business isn't about changing code; it's about changing what legacy sales, distribution, customer service, and product groups do in the new digital age. It's about bringing big data analytics, mobile, social, marketing automation, cloud computing, and the app economy together to launch new products and services. We're seeing new titles in this digital revolution, new responsibilities, new business models, and major shifts in technology spending.
