Months ago (08.06) I posted a call for examples of "social network philanthropy" - something along the lines of SocialPicks.
Here's what I've found - please send yours:
Smartocracy
GiveMeaning
59 Smartest Organizations list is worth looking at including their criteria
Avatar Action - which is a website and 2L world connected
freepledge
Missionfish - which powers eBay giving
ModestNeeds,
DonorsChoose,
Interplast
sixdegrees
And there was Omidyar.net's collaborative funding project
I'll keep thinking...Please send me yours

At CivicSpace we are working on the technology for two social networks for giving. One is an arts community where individuals can find out and support local artists. Another is a grassroots community sites where projects that solve neighborhood problems can be worked on and funded.
For all the tiny organizations out there that don't have deep pockets, the technology behind a globalgiving or donorschoose just isn't accessible. Hopefully CivicSpace's open source solutions can make a difference.
Somewhat related to social network philanthropy sites are the following two:
