Facebook Causes and Save Darfur Launch New Petition Application

My friend Qui Diaz of Livingston Communications just sent me this very interesting new marriage of social networking and democracy tools:

Facebook Causes and Save Darfur just launched their new petition application for the campaign. The new Facebook petition will be a gamechanger for cause-based social media marketing.

If you’re already using Facebook Causes, you can access and sign the petition at http://apps.facebook.com/causes/72?m=618c3fb4&recruiter_id=6746654. (As an incentive, Save Darfur is offering a free t-shirt to anyone who recruits 100 signatures.)

As of this morning, there were 2,022 signatures on the petition already!  It's one more way to let your voice be heard and magnified for causes that are important to you.

What is very interesting are the new "viral" features that Causes has integrated into the application. More later ..
