Donate A Facebook Status Bar

Alexa reports show that Facebook is the second most visited website on the Internet and that two out of every five Web surfers visits the site at least once a day. With so much traffic, it makes sense that people and organizations sponsoring worthy causes would want to get information in front of Facebook users. One increasingly popular method of spreading the word for causes and charities is that of donating a status bar. Simply put, donating your status bar means you post information about a charity or cause on your Wall for others to see. Donating your status bar in Facebook shows that you support a cause and want to others to do so as well.


Instructions

1. Navigate to the Facebook.com homepage. Log in to your Facebook account with your email username and password.


2. Type the name of the cause or charity you want to support in the Facebook search box. Click the App page link for the cause in the search results list.


3. Click the "Go to app" button on the cause's Facebook page. Click the "Allow" button to authorize the app to access your Facebook profile and information. Facebook adds the app to your profile. The app updates your status periodically with messages that promote the cause or charity.
