Getting the Vibe

Essentially, it's a combination of social media (especially Facebook and MySpace ) with consumer brands and causes. 

That is, you select a charity to support as well as a brand (some include Coca-Cola, NBA, Sprint and NestlĂ©).  The result is that you can earn points for charitable donations.

It's an interesting concept.  And so far, the site has raised about $30,000 for 14 charities like the World Wildlife Fund, PETA, charity:water, One Laptop Per Child, Surfrider Foundation, Direct Relief International, Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Invisible Children and Donors Choose.
