If Causes Had Its Own Social Network It Would Be Jumo

Facebook co-founder and former Obama social media guru Chris Hughes has just launched Jumo , a social network for charities, in beta today. Jumo aims to help you discover what causes matter to you by allowing you follow specific charities as well as keep tabs on what your friends are following. Seems simple enough. On Jumo each cause/charity has its own relevant news stream, sort of like what would happen if the Facebook app "Causes," coincidentally started by Sean Parker and former Zuckerberg roommate Joe Green, had its own social network that allowed you to actually "friend" charities.
