November is here, and that means It's time for men across the world to put down their razors to raise awareness and funds for men's health. That's right, it's Movember.

The annual month of mustaches has a new mobile twist this year -- an app, Movember Mobile, that lets you track your growth progress. The app is connected to Mo Space, the Movember social network, which serves as a hub for raising funds and connecting wither other Movember participants.

A sweet new feature of the app this year is that if you document your growth using the Mo Tracker, you can export a time-lapse image or GIF once your 'stache is complete. You can share your facial hair masterpiece on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn, or with your followers within Mo Space, called Mo Bros and Sistas.

In 2011, Movember raised more than $125 million and it hopes to top that this year, with funds going toward the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Livestrong Foundation.
