And you can bet the event got its fair share of tweets.
If you haven't looked in your Twitter dictionary recently, "Twitter" + "Festival" = "Twestival," which in old English can be defined as "a charity event that uses social networking to bring about positive changes to the world." In this case, the event was hosted by Shira Lazar and Oprah Radio's Derrick Ashong and was broadcast on UStream.TV. But in addition to raising awareness for Concern Worldwide, you can bet it also raised awareness (or concern) about bandwidth limits. So now we need a charity for that.
Go HERE to see Twestival 2010 in NYC.
