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!
