Facebook upgrades coming!

First one... the ability to start a 'cause' group, such as SafeDarfur where you can join a cause and donate to it.

Second... Facebook is launching a new platform to developers which will allow for third party apps to get access to our networks. Starting soon there will be an option to add a third party widget to your profile... similar to MySpace, except not as messy. MySpace third-party apps will be available on launch such as Slide, RockYou, Box.net, Red Bull, Washington Post, Project Agape, Prosper, Snapvine, iLike, PicksPal, Digg, Plum and others. Look for them!

UPDATE!
FACEBOOK SNEAK PEEK!

Login to Facebook first and then visit THIS LINK. You will be taken to a directory of all the new apps you can add to your profile... theres a lot! (but keep it on the down low )




P.S., appologies on the e-mail that was sent out... it started out with "Hi #" when it should have said your username instead of a number! What can I say, mistakes happen when there's breaking news
