When Joe Green arrived at the Obama event, I immediately recognized him as the co-founder of Project Agape. I'd first read about Green in a SF Chronicle article discussing the Facebook application Causes, which was created by Project Agape. Shortly after Obama arrived, Barak and I tracked down Joe and had a pretty interesting conversation about his projects and the potential on online youth fundraising.



Barak and I introduced ourselves as bloggers, and Joe mentioned the recent MyDD interview he did (which apparently they posted more of than he expected). I went on to tell him how excited I am about the things he's doing with Project Agape. He asked us what we thought of Causes, and I told him that besides a few minor glitches on Facebook it seemed to working very well so far. He said that they're working hard to iron out the bugs and that they'll be expanding Causes to include political candidates sometime in the next few weeks. In retrospect, I should have asked him about the controversy regarding the Obama camp creating their own Facebook app so suspiciously soon.
