Before this class I had never heard of Facebook Causes, but after browsing the page I quickly realized how great of an idea it is, and how powerful it is- Causes has only been around since last year and it already has 9 million likes and counting. The page itself is based off of the website causes.com, but is a much more easily-accessible page, because you can share posts on your own Facebook.
The set-up of the page is just like any other Facebook page, and has the new timeline. I think that the timeline is very helpful with a page like Causes because you are given the ability to look back in the archives down to the very day to find everything posted that day (helpful if you want to know, say, the events that happened in just the month of February). Viewers who like the page can comment, making it a lot like the set-up as a thread or forum.
Something that would be useful to viewers for the Causes page would be to add categories; to make it so that you can click on a certain category such as politics or charities. This function would make it a lot easier if you wanted to view causes and ideas surrounding a certain topic.
