    They’re Changing the World Through the Power of Social Media and Twitter!

    The concept of Twestivals was born on September 2008, when a group of Twitters from London UK decided to organize an event where the local Twitter community could get together, and socialize offline. The event was organized using Twitter as a communication tool, and financial support of the local Twittersphere.

    It turns out to be an exiting experience to meet the faces behind the avatars, tiny pictures, or not picture at all. They get some entertainment, a few drinks, and the most important a food drive and fundraising effort for a local homeless charity.

    Since Sep. 08, the globalization of  Twitter made possible similar events to be organized and other local Twitter communities got together and took action for a variety of great causes.

    Twestivals was born and they had a spectacular impact to bring awareness to global crisis. 

    This is one more proof that Twitter can be a powerful communications tool.

    It can

    • Connect, mobilize and inform people around the world instantly,
    • It has the ability to create targeted communities from those people who find and follow each other,
    • It is extending your virtual community into the real world, and doing  it  can help a lot of good causes.

    Starting Thursday, February 12th, fans of Twitter.com are coming together for Twestivalsf – in San Francisco branch of an event happening simultaneously across the  world, so far 175 cities are coming together to benefit charity: water.

    The mandatory $20 donation (i.e. the cost of a ticket) goes to Charity: Water, which lends a hand to some of the 1.1 billion people in the world who don’t have access to clean drinking water. Organizers for the event are all volunteers, find out more on the twestivalsf  link.

    Be Part of a Revolutionary Event.

    Until next time all the best
