Christmas is just a couple of days away and everyone’s busy preparing for it, one way or the other. The social networks, primarily Facebook is taking a step ahead as it (like Google) is extending support to the countless charities. It begun with Google giving away $20 Million to a group of charities. While Facebook isn’t giving away that amount in total but the team has decided to give out $25 virtual tokens which you can use as donations.
Let me not be too skeptical here about why it is promoting its virtual currency platform, but to be honest if it is actually giving away that amount to each user, the amount may actually be quite substantial. To be honest I admire Facebook taking this initiative and utilizing its platform for a noble cause. Facebook is going to donate $25 on behalf of the people in its team to a classroom in the US which needs it by visiting DonorsChoose.
All this sets a better example for the many giants minting money in the Silicon Valley. I mean they can quit having free gifts, etc given that they can easily afford all that through out the year.
