TweetsGiving & smeepe September 22nd, 2009
TweetsGiving is a twitter celebration of gratitude and giving created by Epic Change. Last year, the TweetsGiving team raised over $10,000 in 48 hours to build a classroom in Tanzania!
This year for TweetsGiving the team is planning an event series of 100+ fundraising events worldwide. These events should take place during the week of Thanksgiving in the US, which is on Thursday, November 26, 2009.
Danny Brown and I were talking about various twitter-based charity events, like the one he is running, 12for12k, and we got on the topic of TweetsGiving. He told me about his involvement for TweetsGiving this year and I immediately asked if I could join.
Stacey Monk and her team then asked if I’d be interested in being the point person for all TweetsGiving tweetups in Europe. I said – absolutely!
I will be hosting a TweetsGiving tweetup in either Darmstadt or Frankfurt the week of November 23rd.
If anyone else in Europe would like to host a TweetsGiving tweetup, please let me know. Can’t wait to see all my local Tweeps in Frankfurt!

eventtrack Acquisition September 20th, 2009
We’re excited to announce the smeepe acquisition of eventtrack. eventtrack is a technology that tracks and collects information based on a particular keyword that the user determines. eventtrack uses over 20 social services to collect its information and display it via RSS feed to the user.
eventtrack is really easy to use. To create a new event to track (event in this case is any thing, happening, or point in time), you just have to do the following:
- Go to eventtrack.info
- Enter the keyword you want to track
- Select private or public
- Click Add New Event
That’s it! Now you can stay current on all social updates that pertain to that keyword.
eventtrack is already tracking thousands of events every day and is being used by two major corporations as a whitelabel service already.
smeepe had planned from the very beginning to integrate the technology as a whitelabel service for its users and vendors. More on that in a later post.
Recently, smeepe got the opportunity to acquire the technology and didn’t want to pass it up.
We’re excited to have eventtrack in our portfolio and look forward to building it out!

Tags! Get yer Tags! September 17th, 2009
We’ve finally been able to fix our dynamic tagging feature so that the tags that automatically get assigned to your smeepe vendor profile, are correct. If this is not the case with your vendor profile, let us know!
As soon as we’re done with our phase two development, you will be able to control the tags yourself.
Thank you to all our vendors for your feedback on this. If we can do anything else to improve, please let us know!
