Raising money for Twitter.

Going where VCs have yet to succeed.

Raising money for Twitter - day one

It’s day one in the Twitterfund household, and already the guests are starting to enjoy themselves…

Scores on the doors so far - £20 (though more has come in even as I write this). i will try and thank people personally by email or twitter itself but if I don’t get round to it (or if twitter is broken) I apologise.

I’m now gratuitously looking for a bit of link-love. It doesn’t matter whether you’re A-list, B-list, or even ginger-list, even if you haven’t donated, please do spread the twitterfund word. Let’s raise some money for Twitter.

I thank you.

And we’re off…

Thought I’d mention this to Neville at the social media influence conference, and here’s the result.

Thanks Neville! Fingers crossed you’ll be the first of many.

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.
