Hi there,My name is David Katz and I have recently launched a social network called JackTheDonkey.com. JackTheDonkey.com is the community where your time online supports the charity of your choice. Or what some call, a socially responsible social network.Jack donates more than half of all ad revenue generated by an individual's time online to their choice of more than 20 charities from across Canada and the US, and now the UK to the tune of 1.1 cents every impression (paid at par depending where the charity is registered...or at least that is the theory...the advertisers to date have been friends and family so I have been covering the 1.1 cents myself).The number of impressions and how you create them is up to you. Simply sharing, viewing or commenting on pictures or "deep thoughts" makes cents!Jack also takes a "softsell" approach to keeping the charities top of mind among existing supporters, while trickling into the consciousness of potential supporters, as the charities' Twitter feeds have recently been incorporated into their supporters' personal profile pages...viewable to the community.Yes, the name will always sound a little untraditional, but JackTheDonkey.com is working to connect with individuals who are traditionally unengaged from anything remotely related to volunteerism and fundraising.There is another key component to the site that we are rolling out in the near future which will provide an additional stream of funds for the charities on jackthedonkey.com.Please join us: http://www.jackthedonkey.com/Register1.html (and remember to check your spam folder for the activation email).Attached is a copy of my first piece of press that I was able to generate locally earlier this summer:http://null/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecjnews%2Ecom%2Fimages%2Fstories%2FHeebonics%2FJune_25_09%2Epdf&urlhash=PfME&_t=disc_detail_linkAttached are also links to a couple reviews of Jack that were posted recently on a couple startup related sites:http://null/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstartupmeme%2Ecom%2Fjackthedonkey-jacks-every-visit-of-yours-to-support-your-favorite-charity%2F&urlhash=yJkm&_t=disc_detail_linkhttp://null/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ekillerstartups%2Ecom%2FSocial-Networking%2Fjackthedonkey-com-support-a-charity-the-social-way&urlhash=p3FU&_t=disc_detail_linkwww.JackTheDonkey.com is free for the charities and members of the community, but not for the corporate sponsors/advertisers. For corporations, this is what many now refer to as "cause marketing for the web 2.0 generation".Thanks in advance, David Katz twitter.com/inyourfacebook
