A few years ago, the expression ’social networking site’ would have drawn blank looks from all but the technologically most knowledgeable of us. Now, websites such as Facebook and MySpace have a global currency to rival brands such as Coca-Cola and Nike.

At first frequented by teenagers and university students, the sites are progressively more popular among people of all ages. Lately, the average age of users of Facebook was found to be 32.

The advertising potential is enormous. Most celebrities have noticed an outstanding avenue for self-promotion. According to a new study by JupiterResearch, 33 per cent of European online promoters plan to launch their own profiles on social networking sites in the next year.

And charities, quite accurately, want a portion of the pie.

Several have already got in on the act. There are countless unofficial groups dedicated to charities on Facebook but the organizations are now taking the initiative and creating their own online undertakings.

Oxfam has a new online charity shop which hopes to raise £2m a year. Currently over 50,000 donated items are offered, along with goods such as Fair-trade chocolate and coffee, jewelry and other gifts.

Everyclick provides an online fundraising platform where users can contribute to or be sponsored for any UK charity. Everyclick is also a search engine which donates 50% of its publicity revenue to charities, chosen by the user as they search the web.

Charity blogging has also seen big increase. Oxfam has its own blog on MySpace, while visitors to Second Life, Actionaid’s networking site, can tour WWF’s virtual conservation island.

The Royal British Legion has taken advantage of the power of social networking and has created a virtual poppy for Facebook users. Although the poppy badge does not directly bring in the charity any funds, they hope it will encourage people on to make a donation.

Google has also built an application programming interface called Opensocial, which will enable the creation of Facebook-like applications, including charity badges, on any social networking site. Everyclick provides its users with a ‘widget’ which can be added to whichever website, through which people can search and contribute directly to the charity chosen by the user.
In short, a lot of different techniques, one objective.
