TwitChange 2.0

Almost unanimously, Twitter is considered to be a new media source in various aspects. This includes the way in which media is traveling from one source to many sources instantly, the response method which allows it to be interactive and the fact that anyone with a computer and an internet connection can participate in the phenomenon. One of the greatest things about twitter is that fans get to feel close to their celebrity idols by following their everyday tweets, and vice versa celebrities can reach out to their fans on what seems to be a more personal level, instantly.

TwitChange 2.0 is a celebrity charity auction where fans can bid on a chance to be followed by, mentioned in a tweet or retweeted by their favorite celebrities. All of the proceeds go to great charities, which include helping the people of Haiti and Operation Once in a Lifetime, which works to make the dreams of United States Service members and their families come true. Some of the biggest celebrity advocates so far include Eva Longoria, Justin Beiber, Kim Kardashian and Troy Polamalu. The bidding will not even begin until January 29, 2011, and the site has already been named Mashable’s 2010 winner for the Most Creative Social Good Campaign!
