Can Twitter Help Promote This Fundraiser?
Email this article to a friend
Always scouting for new ways to continue to spread the word about this fundraiser, I found an interesting article on, surprise surprise, the Online Fundraising Blog.
In their article, Fundraisers of a feather Twitter together, they explain how they will help promote online fundraisers by retweeting the tweet you send them to @firstgiving.
So I’ll be heading off to Twitter in a short while to send them a tweet.
I think it’s a great idea not only because they make an active effort with you to promote your event, but also because it’s such a progressive approach, using the very newest technologies available to communicate a message.
Speaking of Twitter, if any of you would like to tweet about this fundraiser, I think it would be helpful. Right now one of my goals insofar as how I’m promoting this event to as wide an audience as possible is:
To find bloggers willing to share my efforts who might, in turn, seek other bloggers willing to do the same.
Twitter is perfect for this.
Twitter has millions of users, many of whom are also bloggers.
Let’s give it a shot.
If you would like to tweet about the fundraiser, you can tweet about the article Who Will Be Caesar? so they can read about it and also see the video (which has now been viewed almost 200 times).
One last note: I’m terribly backed up on e-mails, and I have numerous comments in the works for your blogs. Many of you have written great things in the last few days so forgive me for not having stopped by much in the last week. I haven’t forgotten your material, I’m just digging myself out from under a pile
See you all soon.

I still have a problem with using Twitter…I just don’t understand it and I don’t have enough friends on it to join…
I will tweet — though I’m brand new on Twitter and don’t have much of a following — yet
@ Matthew – Well, if it’s a start, I will gladly befriend you.
@ Orna – Much thanks – and like Matthew – if you tell me your Twitter name, I’ll gladly follow you.
