1000th Twitter Follower

So I hit my 1000th Twitter Follower a few weeks back.  In twitter terms that really means I probably hit 200 legitimate followers once you dump out the pornbots and the “social media experts.”

As I noticed I was getting near, I decided to make a contest where I promised a caricature to the 1000th Twitter follower.  Oh you aren’t following me on Twitter yet and missed out.  Now whose fault is that?  Follow me.

Anyway, I was happy to report that number 1000 is an actual person.  And like 1/2 my readership outside the United States, resides in the UK.  So congratulations Robin, you were number 1000.

Not only is Robin a real person but he is also somewhat of a philanthropist.  He spends many waking hours involved in walks, marathons, and ebay auctions all to raise money for the  Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.  Great Ormond is famous for being given the rights to the play Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie.  So check out Robin on Twitter and one his website, Twelveby12 and tell him I said hi.

Oh…and his caricature.

Two Days Left – Charity Challenge

With only two days left in the Charity Challenge it is time to put up or shut up. Click the image below for all the details. But for the next two days only the next 5 people who don’t already have me on their blog roll, I will donate $20 instead of just $10 if you add me. Make sure to say so in the comment section if you do.

Sorry haven’t posted in the past few days…have something in mind but was at the Special Olympics. Very rewarding volunteer activity if you have not ever done it.

Follow me via TWITTER updates.

Don’t forget your efforts cost me money… so spread the word about my charity challenge. Click the image below for details.
