Thanks

Thank you very much for donating to the Twitterfund. I’ll keep updating the site with a running total of donations to date, so do sign up to the rss.

And I’ll send all the money received by 1 September through to Twitter, when I’ll also publish the total to date.

I’m not going to name any names, or list any donations - but if you’d like to add your name and how much you’ve donated to this page as a comment, then feel free.

  • What is the Twitterfund?

  • Twitter is fantastic. Let’s get that straight. It’s addictive, useful and fun.

    But it’s also highly tempremental. Sometimes it just doesn’t work. Which does no-one any favours.

    Following an original tweet from @zeroinfluencer I decided to do something about it.

    The challenge: to try and raise Twitter some money. By asking people who use it to make a small donation.

    On 1 September 2008 I’m going to hand whatever this site has raised over to Twitter.

    So please do contribute. And ask your friends to, too.

    Who knows whether or not we can have the same influence as the VCs (or the same amount of cash), but I hope we can influence the way Twitter develops for the better.

  • Some smallprint

    I am nothing to do with Twitter. I just like it. I promise to keep any money donated safe (or rather PayPal will) until I hand it over in September.

    You'll just have to trust me.

    But if anyone knows any proper legal reasons why I shouldn't be doing this - please let me know, and I'll stop.
