Day Thirty-Seven: The Social Good!

Can you remember life before Social Media? Have you caught yourself thinking about your "status update" or next "tweet" throughout the day? Social Media has had its share of negative labels and press; cyber bullying, gossip factory, timewaster. It's about time that social media had some spin doctoring and let people know the good it can do.


Twestival (or "twitter festival") was spearheaded by Amanda Rose in 2008, when a group of friends in London decided to gather a bunch of their Twitter PR friends together, put on an event and give 100% of the proceeds to charity. www.twestival.com In 2009, it expanded globally and the rest is history! The idea is to TWEET the word through twitter, MEET at the event, then GIVE to the chosen cause.

This year's Twestival focus was local charities and was held on March 24th. Keep your radar tuned for details about Twestival 2012!
