I use twitter both for myself and for my website. I tweet about what I'm up to and about new posts as they go up. A personal side and a business side persay, and it's great for both. People who bash Twitter are sort of like Myspace users bashing Facebook users and vice versa. It's really a matter of opinion. In my own, Twitter is great and I know a LOT of people agree. I think Twitter will be around for a long time to come, it's sort of like a mini RSS Feed, and I love it! Twitter is a great tool, but non-users are the only ones who seem to realize that.

I like charity in general (I'm a fan of charityware, like vim), it's a good thing to donate, but one great thing about this approach you described is that when people see that so many are donating, they're actually making even more donations. I haven't thought of donations on Twitter before, though I know of quite a few charity campaigns of Facebook. And since Facebook isn't used for gaining tons of traffic, it actually makes sense. But after all, since so many are using Twitter mainly for traffic boost, It's a clever idea to use it as a tool for charity. I enjoyed reading your article. Keep up the good work. Nice one.

I never imagine Twitter can be used as a tool for charity too. Everywhere it's all about bringing traffic to your blog/site with Twitter this and that. I wanted to pick the Animal Cruelty..but I feel bad since I'm one of those who are eating those animals (chicken, cows, etc) :( Wow.. I never imagine Twitter can be used as a tool for charity too.
