Jumo-a social network for social causes.

When I wrote a few years ago that online social network is going to swallow the whole world, I did not realize it is going to be a reality too soon.

Do you remember Chris Hughes, the co-founder of Facebook? Well, he has launched a social network for a noble cause. It aims to bring together like minded people who wish to see a major positive in the world.

Already, individuals and several charity and social service organizations are actively involved in the new social network called Jumo.

How does Jumo work?
Like all the social networking site, you can sign up for free but the only difference with Jumo is, you should have a Facebook account to join.

There are categories that include Education, Health, Poverty, etc. and you choose to involve in the issues of any category while signing up. You can also several organizations that show interest in the categories of your interest.

Sell excess cooked food.

It is not very rare that we see spare food.We often cook more food than needed. We promptly dump them in the fridge only to throw away in the garbage when the fridge is full.

What to do with spare food?

Here is an online network through which, we all can sell the excess food. This is for home only; not for hotels and restaurants.

Super Marmite is an online marketplace where home cooks can make some money out of spare food.

I think this is an innovative idea to:
* avoid wastage of food
* make money out of excess food
* to eat freshly cooked homely meals at discounted rate

Since it is a location based social network, house wives can list their location and the food and its quantity and willing buyers can quickly satisfy their hunger.

Find what is cooking in your neighborhood!

We have seen social communities for myriad niches; there is even a social community for work at home moms.

How about a community for creative people like you and I? Wouldn't you like to know the creativity that can transform the world, your web experience or even your visualizing prowess?

What is that?

The site has too much to offer for all. For example there are many things for designers, teachers, students, bloggers and journalists.

New inventions in the field of data visualization, alternative energy and green movement are some of the topics covered in http://www.visualizing.org

Favit is mixture of Twitter, Facebook and a social network like others. You can let in your Twitter and Facebook friends in, subscribe to feeds you are interested in or import your existing Google Readers feeds, find people who share your interest and communicate with them and so on.

Start following users that create and share interesting stuff. This will help you easily discover great online things every day.
