July 2009 Archives

If you live in Glasgow and you use Twitter you're officially a 'tweegie'.

Want to meet other tweegies and raise lots of money for charity? Well you can do just that at the upcoming Glasgow Twestival.

Globally the last Twestival raised a staggering $250k for Charity:Water.

This time it's all about local causes.

Us tweegies have decided to let the twittersphere decide which charity will walk away with the funds raised. You can vote and/or nominate your chosen cause on our UserVoice page. There's some high profile causes on there already, such as ENABLE Scotland, Quarriers and the Big Issue Foundation along with some smaller charities, namely No Strings Attached and Glasgow Women's Library. Voting ends at 12pm on 31st July.

The event itself will feature the finest local musical talent. Glasgow band Any Color Black are the first act to get involved and we'll be announcing more over the next few weeks. We'll also have a raffle, auction and a few other surprises on the night.
