Don't waste your time just browsing aimlessly on social networking sites like Facebook. Do some good and get yourself some brownie points.
Join a cause. There are multitudes of causes available, where you can donate money, provide recruitment and fundraising support or simply invite more friends and spread the good word! Causes range from environmental (Support for alternative and renewable energy sources), animal welfare (Stop using Live dogs for shark bait), humanitarian (The International Red Cross), and health realted (Support Breast Cancer research). Besides doing good, these causes expose you to all the things that actually happen in the world that few people are aware of, and provide you with loads of topics to make you look hyper - intelligent and capable of stimulating dinner time chat!
Add an application such as Lil Green Patch. Its fun, and the more you use it the more its sponsors will donate towards saving rainforest habitats! How much greener can one get?
If you have a message you want to get across, are part of an organization or just want to plain advertise your business, sign up to Facebook, make some friends, and every day under your name in your profile paste a link to your organisation's website. It's a great,free method of advertising.
Search for all your family and friends. Just put their names or email addresses into the friend searcher and finally map out your own family tree. Besides being plain old fun, family trees can be really important when tracing familial disease patterns like hypertension and diabetes.
If you have a cause, worry, obsession, fear, or otherwise burning issue of large proportions that you passionately believe in, then start your own cause in Facebook. Go to the causes page, the link to start a cause is in the top right hand corner. There are probably no other forums where your cause will get as much access as it will on Facebook. You can set up links to organizations on the ground and recruit others to your way of thinking, so long as you manage your cause daily and keep your page up to date.
