Post co-authored by James O'Malley and Justin Perkins. 

If you've missed the launch of Facebook Apps Platform almost two months ago, you're already way behind the times.  The technology "enables anyone to build any application that...Facebook could build."  The result has been innumerable neat applications that allow you to give free gifts to your friends, watch videos on Facebook, and even manage an imaginary stock portfolio.  A couple of Care2 staff favorites, of course, include the Care2 Stickies and Petitions.

The Causes application by Project Agape enables anyone with a Facebook account to support and engage their Facebook networks to support a "Cause" - be it "Save the Seals!," "End Global Warming!," or "Fight Hate".   All of the Causes have to be attached to a Guidestar-verified 501(c)(3).

We took a sampling from all of the Causes to get a sense of what the potential is.
