Causes Cuts Ties With MySpace

December 10, 2009

  • Causes has removed from MySpace its popular application that allows people on social-networking sites to raise money for charities. The company cited a lack of activity on the site and a desire to focus its efforts on its Facebook application as reasons for the decision.

  • The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation will accept applications for its third $2-million competition for ideas on how to transform learning with digital media, starting December 14. For more information: Go to http://www.dmlcompetition.net.
