Online fundraising application Causes this month shut down its presence on social networking website MySpace, ‘due to a lack of activity’.

Causes on MySpace had around 185,000 users when it closed. This is considerably less than the 35m users of Causes on Facebook, the other social networking website it is available on and where it started.

A statement on the Causes page on MySpace said, “Thank you for the work you’ve done on Causes on MySpace. Due to a lack of activity on MySpace, we’ve decided to focus our efforts on the Causes application on Facebook.

“We appreciate the work you’ve put into your cause community on MySpace and we hope that the broader functionality available on the Causes application on Facebook will offer you even more opportunities to raise awareness, advocate for change and fundraise for your non-profit ."
