Hi Net2, 

I've written another article on the emerging field of group fundraising using the social web.  This time, my article is about the work of a remarkable website called GiveMeaning.  I've tried to profile the personal committment that GiveMeaning's staff members invest in each group fundraising campaign created on their website. 

Here's an excerpt:

Hello Net2,

Last night, I launched the beta version of My Pet's Project.   This is the first initiative that I know of that permits cats, dogs, and other pets to use social networking tools to promote a fundraising campaign.

Here's the mission statement:

My Pet’s Project, an initiative of First-of-its-kind, helps passionate individuals raise money for non-profit organizations by combining social networking tools and fundraising with the universal appeal of cats, dogs, and other animals.
