This is an awesome friend of mine, who resembles a VERY well known celebrity philanthropist... Now, if you're lucky enough to look like her, you would have more than just a handful of links on your profile!
A great idea by Mark Dagostino of tonic.com I felt the need to share it. So as you probably know, this week was Doppelganger week-Well either you knew that or you’re confused as to why friends’ photos on Facebook have been seemingly familiar yet not at the same time.
It was pretty fun to see what celebrity-look-alike friends posted. Some more on point than others. Mark Dagostino’s idea: “Instead of just changing your photo to a celebrity photo, take a moment to think about a cause that celebrity has supported or a charity that particular celebrity has endorsed, and add a link from your Facebook page to that cause or charity and encourage your friends to give or get involved.”
