Twestival – Updated

Being an early adopter (read sucker) I have been on Twitter for nearly 2 years. I have to admit initially I didn’t really get into it but that really changed when I found an iPhone app to “tweet” from and I was able to fit it in around my life.
Since then I have gotten our artists into Twitter and they have loved it . When people asked what the hell Twitter was I would always refer them to this video:
Twitter in Plain English from leelefever on Vimeo.
Now of course the celebs have piled in, its getting old media attention . Which has grown awareness of what is a great social network.
Which brings me to the reason for todays post: Twestival . Which is happening 12th Feb in over 175 cities around the world bring together the Twitter community in meatspace for an evening of fun and music to raise money and awareness for charity: water .
Fredag artist Epic26 is fortunate to be headlining the Edinburgh Twestival and will be joined by our good friend The Amazing Rolo .
Tickets sold out pretty much immediately for this event but fortunately the whole thing is going to be live video streamed and live audio streamed on Second Life by the good folks at AICR who are ANOTHER worthy cause.
There is another way you can support charity : water. Bloc Party, Epic26, Mystery Jets & over 160 other artists\labels have donated tracks to Twestival.FM who will be streaming them in exchange for donations.
So find out more about charity : water , give what you can afford and get plugged in to the Twestivals in Edinburgh and round the world .
All the best
