Twestival: Tweet Meet Give

Today the 12th of February 2009 is Twestival day (http://twestival.com [1]). The original Twestival was held in September of 2008 in London, but since it has exploded to become an truly international event. It is estimated that today between 10,000 and 20,000 global users of Twitter will take part in this global charity party night designed to raise money for the charity ‘Water’ (http://www.charitywater.org).

Events are being organised all over, often with drinks company sponsorship and the idea is simple to tweet, meet and give.

Further to my presentation in December, this is an excellent use of the social media star of the moment, Twitter, for eCampaigning. Doesn’t get much better or more fun that this.
