Twismas time!

by Chris M on December 1, 2009 in My Life, Networking with 19 Comments Tweet

Hey folks, it’s almost Christmas and in light of that, I propose that everyone changes their Twitter profile picture to one of themself wearing a Christmas hat!

If you’re keen, please update your photo and spread the word by clicking here and tweeting the message that appears!

HELP CHILDREN

Right everyone, minor update, I will each donate R2.00 for the first 500 people who join this movement to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund – On top of this, FeistyFemale (Beverley Merriman), will match my donation. In order for me to track this, please leave a comment with your Twitter name as a comment!

Every child deserves an opportunity, let’s do our part and help them!

UPDATE: If you don’t have a Christmas hat, use something else, otherwise, grab paint and draw your own hat on your profile picture – a lot of people are doing this!

UPDATE 2: There’s now a service that will automatically put a hat on your avatar – http://walterhiggins.net/projects/twixenate.html

    There we go…

    and

    PS: I knew I had this pic but it was nowhere to be found on my PC now. So I found it in a Facebook album of mine. So changing FB profile pic was a breeze.

    Now to upload to Twitter, I had to ‘save as’ and all that crap therefore I feel Chris must fork out triple because I made a huge effort… don’t you guys agree?
