Aside from a few tweets, I’ve not yet had the chance to blog about the big event of last week. After just a couple of months in incubation, Twestival
parties were thrown in 202 worldwide cities to raise funds for charity: water, that brings essential clean water to some of the most impoverished people. Donations are still being accepted and over 80 countries are yet to be counted, however the total raised is already in excess of $250,000!
This is an awesome achievement for Amanda Rose and all other organisers, and also testament to the power of Twitter as a platform for connecting people and making things happen. Rummble and Total Hotspots together pledged to donate £1 for each of our iPhone apps downloaded during Twestival and will soon figure out exactly how much was raised. A big thanks to everyone who helped spread the word and downloaded the app.
