Even though I knew it was all about me and my own frailties, I had to air it on Twitter. Everything becomes magnified and so visible. There was my ego, much more on display than anyone needs it to be.<br /><br />My perspective on Tw1tterband was and is that it was a brilliant idea, has been stunningly well executed and oh, how cool, it even raised some money for a charity -- that's fabulous and a plus. The people involved all did amazing things and impress hell out of me. It was a worthy endeavour *whatever* happened or didn't happen with the charity, because imnsho good music makes the world a better place.<br /><br />Full disclosure: I'm in the process of conducting some research on how social networking involvement affects charitable giving. We're still developing the software to collect the data, so I don't have any results yet.Valerie in San Diegohttp://ancientreflection.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149281632394942120.post-78626265182156542282011-03-18T19:36:49.912+00:002011-03-18T19:36:49.912+00:00....and awful as it sounds, I didn't realise t.......and awful as it sounds, I didn't realise that there had even been a second song until I read this post. <br /><br />One of my first experiences of Twitter acting as a vehicle for fund raising was your Tweetathon, and it seemed to be all about the charity - I didn't really get that from Twitterband. Mainly because the idea to form a band seemed to turn up before the charity was decided on. <br /><br />Of course people have an ego trip out of raising money - who'd do it otherwise? That's not a bad thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
