It’s time for Twitterers to show what a social and good natured bunch they are tonight with the Twestivals taking place across the globe, with the noble aim of raising funds for Charity:Water, helping to provide drinking water to those who need it most.
Anyway, I’m absolutely delighted that companies I work with have been so keen to get involved with it. Whyte and Mackay stepped right up and have offered the Edinburgh Twestival two tickets for the F1 Grandstand at Silverstone later this year – worth around £500 each (nice one Rob Bruce!)- while BrewDog have put forward beer and beer discounts for the Edinburgh and London events and Twitter’s very own Robert Burns @ayrshirebard has offered to send someone a free Burns email valentine.
No doubt the whole world + dog is sick of people pontificating about social media and how incredible Twitter is at the moment (Bobbie Johnson nailed that one) so all that’s left to say is that I hope it’s a blazing success, glad to see the All Tweet Journal covered it and all going well, I should be along at the Edinburgh bash tonight, so hopefully see some people there. (and if the weather’s terrible, I’ll head over to the Glasgow one instead)
In the meantime, Edinburgh host for tonight Ewan Spence has been grabbing people to do a ‘pass the water round the world’ style video, so I thought I’d get into the spirit of things with a little Burns…and you can see via Ewan’s plea here.
