Cochin Twestival 2010
Posted by Binny V A in Announcements, Cochin on March 23rd, 2010
We are holding Cochin Twestival 2010 on 25th of March(2010)!. If you are in Cochin and active in Twitter, Cochin Twestival is a must attend event for you.
Hearing the word ‘Twestival’ for the first time?
It is a mega tweet-up with lots of things added. In short, it is a Twitter Festival. Twitter Festivals or Twestivals happen all around the globe once a year. There are basically two types of Twestivals: Twestival Global & Twestival Local. Twestival Global is one day, one cause all around the world and Twestival Local takes place over a weekend where cities are encouraged to support a local cause. Both versions have international momentum, but the real power of Twestival is when everything comes together on one day, giving focus to an important cause, the cause being different every year.
Venue
Twestival Cochin 2010 will be held at Somewhere Else Cafe.
