Actress Kirstie Alley is currently looking at trying to get a twenty-four hour "Tweetathon" organized sometime in July as a benefit to donate funds to build water wells in Africa. Details are of course currently sketchy, but she was on Twitter last night discussing the possibilities. Alley mentioned she would attempt to entice other celebs on Twitter to join in on this worthwhile event. You can imagine that other celebrities on Twitter, but I'd be surprised if Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher among other prominent tweeters weren't approached after the details get worked out.
The name "Aquathon" has been bandied about and although just in it's embryonic stages, this does sound like a worthwhile project that others will support. This is one of those grassroots projects that the social network could highlight as it gains further legitimacy with the public.
Hi
ReplyDeleteAquaThon is the name, official blog is at http://aquathon2009.blogspot.com and Twitter site @aquathon I and Kirstie Alley will continue working to make this happen. We are currently soliciting theme song submissions (must be original works) and have 10 to choose from on our blog. Each submitted song has been put to a slideshow video. Kirstie will announce the theme song this Thursday! C'mon onboard and help with this great cause!
