Today in a phenomenal example of the power of social media, Epic Change launched a Twitter campaign outlined at http://tweetsgiving.org. Asking people to Twitter about what they are thankful for and to share the wealth by donating whatever they could to help build a school in Tanzania. In 48 hours they are hoping to raise re required 10,000$ one 10$ brick at a time. Twitter members are offered an opportunity to include one 140 character message of thanks to be written on their bricks. When I first learned of the fundraiser approximately 1800$ had been raised. When I checked the site at dinner time they’d raised 3000$. It certainly looks encouraging. I have my brick. Have you bought yours?
