Twitter Followers for Heifer International

I debated doing this last year, and this year I decided to go ahead with it. The concept is simple: Follow me on Twitter, and I'll donate $0.50 to Heifer International. On Dec 31, 2008, I'll make a donation for $0.50 x # followers up to a maximum of $2500.00.

Why am I doing this? Two reasons. One is to share my semi-coherent ramblings with the world a little more. When I ask twitter a question, I rarely get a good answer - that's because I'm only followed by about 150 people. (Probably less than that in terms of people that regularly check twitter.) The second is to raise money for Heifer. If this raises Heifer International in the collective consciousness then I'll have done a lot.

I'm not into social media. I'm not into marketing. I'm not looking to use my twitter followers for any grand plan. I'm just looking to connect with some more folks out there and raise money for a good cause.
