Aniboom is the first virtual animation studio in the world, bridging the

gap between the global community of independent animators and

the professional animation industry in all its forms: cinema, television, web,

mobile, music videos, digital gaming and advertising. Today the Aniboom

community includes 7,000+ animators from more than 70 countries around the world.

On 12 February 2009, 202 cities around the world held

Twestivals, bringing together the Twitter community

for an evening of fun and to raise money for charity: water.

Tweetsgiving 2008 is Twitter celebration of gratitude and giving created

by Epic Change, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The project aims to demonstrate the power of the social web by

raising $10,000 in 48 hours to build classroom in Tanzania (this event has ended).

See how it works:

• Participants submit wishes, it is free
• Each wish competes against other wishes for views in the same category
  
• Users directly support wishes through viewing and rating them
  
• Wishes are granted per category, according to the top number of votes
  
• Finally, participants with the top wishes are contacted to collect their funds.
