Inform Your Network About Causes You Care About with TwitterFeed/Social Actions

by John Jorgensen on September 25, 2008

  • Supply your Twitter username/password to the Twitterfeed/Social Actions mashup and it will automatically re-tweet messages from your account about social causes that you care about.
  • Enter a cause (ex. animals, climate change) and an action type (ex. fundraiser, campaign) and the mashup will scan Social Actions for corresponding movements to re-tweet.
  • Great way to keep up to date on causes you’re interested in while sharing them with your social network.

Twitter Used As Charity Fundraising Tool, Sets Record

by John Jorgensen on September 19, 2008

  • Yesterday (Sep. 28th), Mashable reached out their Twitter followers to ask for donations to Charity:Water, a project that builds wells in Ethiopia to give people clean drinking water.
  • They raised $4,573, enough to build a well that’s capable of supplying 200 people with water for 20 years.
  • If you subtract that from $4,294,856, the value of all the man-hours wasted by employees who were on Twitter at work yesterday, Twitter’s net impact on the GDP was only -$4,290,283, a record best for the microblog service.
  • Tiny commentary: Keep up the good work Twitterers!
