Way to disappear (or a TwestivalTO update)

Posted: February 18th, 2009 | Author: Satish | Filed under: Community | Comments

That’s what I would be thinking too – especially after that big parade about not wanting to fail. I want to apologize for not posting for the last 10 days, but I have the best excuse in the history of best excuses.

I was working away with a team of social media rockstars on Twestival Toronto, which took place at CiRCA in Toronto on February 12. I already told you why it was important to me, so I just wanted to share the results with you.

We actually:

  1. Brought out more than 450 people
  2. Raised over $10,000 for charity: water
  3. Were the #2 trending topic on all of Twitter for the night
  4. Had free Molson beer and hung out with the Raptors girls, among lots of awesomeness
  5. Made it on CBC, City TV, and many other media outlets

All in a matter of weeks. What matters most though? TO just funded 2 new clean water wells in developing nations and will change the lives of just over 600 people.

To be involved was nothing short of a geek’s dream come true. Do me a solid: read the concluding note and watch the video below.

P.S. I’m back.
