Justgiving + Facebook

The Justgiving Facebook app has arrived!

We are in your profile

What does it do?

The Justgiving app, built by us, adds a dynamic progress bar to your profile, which references a fundraising page on Justgiving.

This could be your own fundraising page, one of your friends, a big appeal page or belong to a complete stranger.

The profile view looks like this:

As you can see it pulls in the image from your page, your progress, what you're doing and the charity you're raising funds for. Tidy.

In the application view you get something a bit more like this:

You can add the pages you're supporting, see the most recent contributions (including comments!), and you can see who out of your Facebook friends is supporting that page too. It's a great way to get all your sponsors to show their support via their profiles too.

Where do I get it?

You can add the application at http://apps.facebook.com/justgiving

You'll need to have a Facebook account and to log-in to get this working.

It will tell you what the most popular pages are on Facebook right now, so if you've got nobody to support, why not pick one of them?

Let us know what you think, we hope you have as much fun using it as we had building it.

Alternatively you can search in the applications list for "Justgiving"

Can this be added to a Facebook group page as well?

[Jo Taylor]

It would be good if you could then send a message directing friends to the page cos otherwise all that shows up is that I've added the application which doesn't prompt people to sponsor me. And it seems silly to have to write a messsage telling people to look on my profile to find the page.

Trying to add the app but can I ask why it doesn't seem to appear in my profile ? Great initiative by the way - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=701575168

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments - I just talked to our dev team and it seems that an 'invite' function is coming up in the next release. We'll also take a look at whether or not we can add them to groups.

If you are having problems with the app, BTW, the best thing to do is to uninstall it and then install it again...

cheers from JG HQ

Hi, do you know when the "invite" part will be up and running cos just having the application up doesn't bring it to anyone's attention!

[Simon]

Yup it's coming! I think Matt's done the code so it shouldn't be too far away.
