Earth Hour, in French and in English

As you might already know, Earth Hour 2009 is happening this Saturday, 28th of March at 8:30pm. During one hour, millions of people will switch off their lights in order to raise awareness worldwide about the global warming...

We Are Social, the social media agency I work for is helping WWF & their cute Panda spread the word about the event by outreaching to bloggers in the UK in order to encourage people to sign up to show their support.

 

And if you're in France, vous pouvez vous aussi aider le WWF en parlant de Earth Hour sur votre blog puisque c'est une campagne internationale... Toutes les informations en français sont disponibles sur le site Earth Hour France.

Don't you Twitterstand?

Still not getting what's the whole fuss about Twitter? I've been writing a lot about Twitter on this blog over the last 2 years but in case you really still cannot see what's it's all about, here is a brilliant cartoon explaining it all!

Nano:ztag.... I want one of these!

They look cute, they would fit nicely next to my Nabaztag in the office, and... I just want one really! Just check them out here...

Marcus Brown's Twitter Reading...

Following Willem's advice (or @hippowill) should I say, I turned up at Marcus Brown's Twitter Reading event (@Marcus_Brown) last night, in a pub next to London Bridge and... had a brilliant night! A night I could probably summarize as a sort of "stand up-comedy" event for Twitter users - or for those who at least understand the concept of Twitter ;-).

Titled "The garden of Tweedom", (check out here for the 'prelude'), the event was a mix of Twitter reading of brilliantly funny 140 character-messages written by Twitter users such as @will_humphrey or @johndodds, @samismail (which I must follow just to check out the 'boom' business...), a bit of beer drinking Octoberfeist-style whilst singing "Ein prosit" (Marcus lives in Munich), a bit of comedy with Marcus playing a Sacrum fictitious character and another fictitious character hit by SMEB (Social Media Expert Burnout Syndrome) and finally a bit of Twitter History with the Garden of Tweedom with Twitter users such as @Eve Twitting 'Naked? WTF!' in response to @God and @Adam suggestions during #morningcoffeesession ;-)

To those outside the twittosphere, this event might sounds strange... To me and to the crowd last night, it was a brilliant night. It was so refreshing compared to all the other bloggers' / twitters' meetup! A bit like a stand up comedy event as I was saying before...

Thanks Marcus, really looking forward to your next event in London! (and thanks again Willem for suggesting I should attend the event!)
