I,Ripple Facebook Application

What is the I,Ripple Facebook Application?

Ripple is a Web 2.0 site dedicated to generating money for worthy causes through ad revenue. It allows you and your friends to donate to charities without spending your own money by viewing ads. I,Ripple brings the power of Ripple to Facebook. All you have to do is view on an ad that appears on you Facebook Profile. I,Ripple takes the money made off the view and donates 100% to charities. Currently, there are four charities that I,Ripple is donating to. You can chose if your click goes to fighting hunger, providing clean water, funding education, or funding a micro-loan.

I,Ripple Pros

• Contribute to a cause without spending money
• The ads aren’t intrusive. They only appear on your profile when someone clicks to donate money.

I,Ripple Cons

• Not a big selection of charities. I,Ripple is just starting out. As they grow, I can definitely see more charities signing on.

Overall, I,Ripple is a pretty cool app. As a student with no money, I like the idea that I can donate some money without having to spend what little money I have.
