SunTweet Charity Tweetup
Last night was a gathering of Twitter users in Park City, UT, during the Sundance Film Festival. It was arranged through Twitter, and we all chipped in $5 or more, and at the end of the evening voted on which charity got the money that had been donated. Serenity won the popular vote, and got a little over $600. Serenity is Twitter user @Phil801‘s daughter. From Serenity’s web site:
Serenity was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia on May 24, 2008. Lifting Up Serenity is dedicated to her recovery and supporting her family throughout their journey through childhood cancer.
Donations can still be made on the Social Hat web site, or directly to Serenity.
The panel talked about how to use social networking in the business world. The panel and organizers consisted of:
@ghennipher
@jyl_momIF
@krista_parry
@Jesse
@EXIT_Stage_Left
@startupprincess
@carysnowden
And honorable mention goes to @H0neyB for helping with the door and the video, as well as giving me a ride up to Park City, since my Jeep is having issues.
We streamed the event live using UStream. One of the founders, Brad06, was watching our stream, and put us on the front page. We had over 130 people watching the stream! Here are the clips:

Sometimes the comedy just writes itself.
The GOP has more email problems. My favorite quote: “Can we label the entire Republican Party as organized crime yet?”
Wired Danger Blog gives us a creepy “preview” of 9/11, and links to some even creepier things.
Congrats go out to JM Bell for his new (way cool and awesome!) temporary gig and a few other things, too.
GOP Disenfranchising Democratic voters, coming soon to a poll booth near you! (Hey, if you can’t vote, they don’t care that you wouldn’t vote for them!)
George Bush doesn’t like the Constitution. In fact, he holds it in contempt.
That’s it for now. I’m going to try to keep a post like this going almost daily.
Don’t forget to Wear Orange tomorrow!
Just one more – I am waiting on a meeting and read this article from Kos. If you live in Michigan, or know Democrats or Independents in the state, go cause trouble for the Republicans, and some good for the Democrats at the same time. Brilliant!!!
