The Edinburgh Twestival - latest details!
Posted on: 5 February 2009 at 14:09 - Comment
Meet, greet and tweet the Twitterers of Scotland - all for a great cause!
On Feb 12th, Edinburgh is joining over 180 cities around the world and hosting a Twestival (a “Twitter Festival”), donating 100% of money raised to Charity: Water.
Listen to some world class live music, bid for Silverstone Grand Prix tickets and a host of other goodies in the auction, get a chance to win a Vodafone Netbook, crate of Ardbeg whisky or Flip Video Mino in the raffle, and most importantly, have a top night with Scotland’s flourishing Twitter community.
There’ll be live video streaming from other Twestival cities around the UK and beyond, plus a way to fire all your tweets and pictures up on the walls (wifi dependent - fingers crossed). Bring your mobile or laptop and join the thousands of people around the world celebrating on the same day!
Check out the Edinburgh Twestival blog and the EdTwestival Twitter feed for constant updates.
