Second International Twitter Fundraising Festival coming-up in September
Howard Lake | 21 August 2009 | Blogs
While in the commercial world discussions continue as to how the owners of Twitter might best get income from their free microblogging service, back in February this year the first Global Twestival – a real-world fundraising festival organised largely through Twitter – raised some $250,000 for charity:water.
Building on this success, a second international Twestival is taking place next month – from 10th through 13th September. But this time, rather than all events around the world focusing on a single charity, groups of volunteers have voted for the charity they would like their local city’s event to raise money for.
