ThinkMTV, a social network that makes a difference

What better company to get into the social network game than MTV? The Viacom owned property hits the perfect user base for social gatherings and has the backers on hand that can make a difference.

The idea came out of a youth survey in 2006, with the chief aim for the ThinkMTV network being to gather activists together and interact both on and offline. Topics will range from HIV, global epidemics, health and environmental concerns.

As for backing, numerous celebrities have lent their faces including Leo DiCaprio, Bono and John Mayer. With cash flowing in from The Case Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation.
