Twestival: Tweet, Meet, Give.

On 12 February, 2009 over 175 cities around the world will be hosting a Twestival - an opportunity to tweet, meet and give, and to support and raise awareness about a good cause. We’re proud to be supporting the inaugural Belfast Twestival, where we’ll be giving away signed copies of our book to raise money for charity: water, a cause we feel passionately about.

Why water?

Simple. Right now, 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us. We’re happy to play a small part in addressing this problem by supporting the Belfast Twestival and we’d really appreciate your support through attending the event.

Find out more about the event and contribute at the Belfast Twestival web site. We really hope to see you there for what promises to be a great night.
