Jessica Biel Starts Her Own Social Network

Wednesday May 7, 2008
Jessica Biel Social Network

In the past few months, we have seen a wave of artists start their own social networks from 50 Cent to Ludacris to Radiohead. With companies like Ning making the creation of social networks a snap, it is easy to see that personal social networks are the future.

So, it might not surprise you to hear that Jessica Biel is getting into the act by starting her own social network.

The catch here is that it's not a social network about Jessica Biel. Instead, the former 7th Heaven actress and star of Hollywood hits such as The Illusionist and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry has the crazy idea that social networks can be used for good.

The Make The Difference Network is about connecting individuals and businesses to nonprofit organizations and increasing the visibility of thousands of nonprofits. It also streamlines the process of making charitable donations while making sure that 100% of the donation goes to the nonprofit.

For this, I have to say, "Go Jessica! Way to use your power for good rather than evil!"
