Twitter is a great way to promote events

Twitter is a mass medium that is a great for many different things like connecting with friends, knowing what other people are doing, and keeping up with current events. But twitter is also a great medium for advertising events. Twitter promotions are a great way to promote an event, either worldwide or in a certain area. A little while ago, celebrities promoted a Digital Death for World Aids Day via twitter by pledging to stop tweeting until they reached their goal of donations. But even on a local note, the UMD campus tweets to promote events around campus. The Black Student Union used #blackterp to promote events hosted by them. Twitter is a great way to bring people out to events.
