SpinVox LOVES Calgary Twestival
.
It’s Twestival time!
On 12 February 2009 200+ cities around the world will be hosting Twestivals which bring together Twitter communities for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for charity: water.
In fact – the latest press release from Twestival Global HQ says that:
“In just one month, from volunteer effort alone, global Twitter-based charity event Twestival has created events in 175+ cities, predicted to raise $1 million for the 1.1billion people in the world who can’t access clean drinking water. Growing beyond all expectations since launching in January 2009, Twestival takes place for 24 hours on February 12th, everywhere from Bethlehem to Birmingham, Beijing to Boston, as up to 20,000 come together inspired by community and charity.”
One of those 175+ cities is Calgary in Alberta, Canada – They’re hosting Calgary Twestival
One of the Chief Organisers is @Roger – aka Roger Kondrat – friend of SpinVox and all round nice chap…
Hang on – we’re getting ahead of ourselves.. Some explanations needed:
Twestival, in case you were wondering is a Twitter Festival.
A Festival for Twitterers if you will.
Originally setup as a fun way to meet new folk, put faces to avatars and to also, make some money for charity; Twestival is now a monster worldwide operation with nearly the entire world population of Twitter taking place!
Of course, Twitter being all about communication – it just makes sense for SpinVox to get involved somehow. So today we are pleased to announce that every single Calgary Twestival attendee will walk away with a brand spanking new 1 year’s TOTALLY FREE subscription to SpinVox!
The whole Twestival thing ROCKS our SOCKS here at SpinVOX (see what I did there?), so we’re pulling our socks up and mucking in with the best of them.
