The insight here is a simple, but great example of using social media (Twitter specifically) to raise money for a very good cause.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, a new site, Tweetsgiving has captured the giving spirit on Twitter and hopes to capture $10,000 for a classroom in Tanzania. Mashable described it as “one part meme, one part fundraiser”. Beyond their push to raise 10k in 48 hours, they are also asking everyone to “Share something you’re thankful for with all your twitter followers”.

EpicChange.org is the non-profit behind Tweetsgiving. Give them some Twitter love and donate if you are able.

They have reached 75% (7.5k of their 10k) of their goal as of Midnight on Wednesday night. With 24 hours to go, I am hoping Turkey Day does not distract from the momentum they are building.
