Facebook realizes non-profits are cool too
General, online communications, social networks No Comments »While Facebook seems to have taken over MySpace as the preferred social network of choice amongst college kids, there are still some hurdles to overcome to become the big guy on the block. The excellent blog TechPresident announced that Facebook might be coming around to one of them.
As of right now, NGO’s and politicians are allowed to create groups in Facebook. However, they can only message the first 1,000 supporters in the group. So if a group has 50,000 supporters, you’re leaving out 49,000 every time you send a message. TechPresident is reporting that they are rethinking this strategy. I for one say it’s about time! This move will be another step for Facebook to catch up with MySpace. With the recent opening of the platform and now this, it might only be a matter of time before Facebook moves to #1 in social networking.
