In this presentations, Jetmira Trsani shares some interesting instances on how people are using social media to raise money (donations) for charity.
For instance, Zynga, developer of popular Facebook games like Farmville and Mafia Wars, helped families in Haiti through Farmville. Farmville players donated money to the Haiti fund and were rewarded with rare flowers and raised 1 million dollars in about a week.
A blogger needed money to get a divorce from her husband and with the help of other fellow bloggers and her Twitter friends, she could raise enough money using the ChipIn service.
