I’ve been thinking that it would be great to get the massive twitter community to do something for the disasters in Japan and the southeast of the U.S. I know there are already celebrity auctions on twitter, but nothing really on a more grassroots level, among us local twitterers. Charity auctions in which normal, everyday people just like us offer goods & services in the name of charity seems like a fun way to help out.
I wonder if such auctions already exist, and I just don’t know about it? Admittedly, I’ve just started using twitter so I may have missed some goings-on of the community at large. If anyone has any additional information or wants to discuss this further, feel free to comment on this post or tag #twitauction!
Meet Kelsey. He was born on September 9th, 2008. What turned out to be a one-time visit on a November afternoon last year turned into commitment when I spotted three beautiful African red-bellied parrots (poicephalus rufiventris) on display at the Ko’olau Pet Shop. Three years ago, my pet bird of 9 years passed away, and I had only just begun to forget her when I entered that shop. I hadn’t intended on owning another parrot right then, but when I saw them, I was drawn.
