Twitter, Polls, PR and Tea

So it looks like I am not alone on the sugar in tea front. Using Twitter, I setup a twtpoll for ask the UK PR twitter community about whether they have sugar in tea! Here are the results:

I am usually pretty healthy, but tea is my bad habit. Probably 3-10 cups a day, depending on where I am etc. So that is 3-10 tea spoons of sugar (not to mention the caffeine). Time for a change me thinks...so I am going to try cut sugar and maybe tea in general is favour of a glass of water...wish me luck.

Oxford Twestival

I went along to Oxford Twestival #oxtwestival last night at The Cape of Good Hope pub on Magdalen round about. Organised by @Jake, @colinmercer and @sylwiapresley.

I chipped in my donation to try and help raise the $1 million for Charity:Water that this Twitter organised meet-up is trying to achieve.

Scott Harrison, Founder of charity: water - Thanks the Twestival:

We had entertainment from the Funky Llamas, who were fantastic.

A little video clip from the night:

Well organised, good fun and a good cause. Well done to all at Twestival for sorting this, especially a very busy Jaz Cummins!

Twestival: Thursday 12th February 2009

On February the 12th, 100+ cities will be hosting their own Twestival!

From the social media release:

"The global event, described as "a 'tweet-up' with a social conscience", will be raising money to support charity: water, a not-for-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations."

As I am from the shire, I will be attending OxTwestival in Oxford. You can sign up here http://twtvite.com/lmkbt0

Remember, the main reason behind this is to raise money to give people in the less developed world clean drinking water!
