Comic Relief and TwitterTitters
Posted by Ellee on Feb 12, 2009 in Social Media | 8 commentsFellow scribe and twitterer Linda Jones has had a brilliant 
brainwave – to gather a collection of new comedy for Comic Relief via Twitter which will then be published to raise cash.
She has been thrilled with the positive response since her announcement earlier this week. Even the BBC has picked up on it.
What an inspirational idea. I can see Linda going on TV on Red Nose Day, Friday, 13 March and reading from this unique collection.
And anyone can be one of her TwitterTitters, the name given to those who contribute. She is looking for short stories, scripts, poems and prose with a word limit of 1,400 words and the book will be published by Lulu.com. The deadline is Friday, February 20.
If comedy writing is your thing, then what are you waiting for. Just check out the TwitterTitters site for info.
I think this is a fantastic and creative idea. You could say Linda has a good nose for sniffing out something different and fun….
ok I will! btw you can scuba dive? amazing!

A fine idea in a troubled world. We need all the laughs we can get.
It sounds a fantastic idea
Are you doing anything funny for money, Ellee? I don’t know exactly what twitter is; is it something like facebook?
Linda, I know it will be a great success. Good luck.
Ellee, thanks so much for helping us spread the word about TwitterTitters. I have nearly fallen off my chair laughing at your suggestion that I would go on telly to read.
This is because a) I sound like a cross between Worzel Gummidge and Kat Slater and 2) I look an even bigger state.
Seriously though, it would be wonderful if we had more media interest and I hope that as Red Nose Day approaches we can get some more good coverage.
Thanks again and I’m really looking forward to the submissions!
That’s oroginal, to say the least.
fantastic Elle
