I’ve been issued with a Twitter challenge – @digitalmaverick and I are competing to reach 2000 followers, with the loser performing a charitable forfeit…
And in the spirit of the challenge, I’ll also give 2000 pence to the charity chosen by my 2000th follower…
So follow www.twitter.com/badgergravling
Due to the complications of time differences and my dodgy maths, there should still be time to check out and contribute to Tweetgiving, which is aiming to raise $10,000 for a new classroom in Tanzania, and is almost there – but the project only runs until 12pm (EST) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 so get in quick.
If you want to read a great post about the idea – and also what makes it such a great campaign, take a look at the always interesting and readable David Armano – What Brands Can Learn From A Turkey.
And it’s all for charity.
Social media type Jennifer Leggio is not only running the Nike Women’s Marathon for charity – she’s also persuaded some top social media figures to auction their skills to raise money for Team in Training, the fundraising arm of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
And you could get some real value by bidding for yourself or your company. Names on the block include Chris Brogan, Joseph Jaffe, Geoff Livingston, Aaron Strout, and Greg Verdino.
If you don’t recognise their names, there is a short bio on the link above. I’ll add in the appropriate blog links in detail when I’m not sat on a train…
