Project Agape

30th March 2007

Interesting news from Techcrunch about Project Agape.

The founder, Sean Parker, has a pretty formidable track record, having been involved in Plaxo, Napster and Facebook. It looks like he’s planning to apply these viral principles to fundraising, activism and political participation. The Project Agape website - which is just a placeholder at the moment, offers a teaser introduction:

We’ve worked in both technology and politics, building successful consumer Internet services and organizing major political campaigns.

We’re applying these diverse experiences to deploy a platform for large-scale political and social activism on the Internet, allowing anyone with passion and initiative to make a difference.

If you had to guess, you’d expect it to be somewhere between facebook, moveon.org and meetup, with a dash of justgiving. It’ll be interesting to see how it develops.
