//media type="custom" key="3497270" How I Used Twitter

Donate Tech and NpTech T-Shirts//

I asked the Cambodian Blogging Team what can I bring from the United States for the Conference that would be useful and doesn't weigh a lot and I can pack into a suitcase? It also had to be something I could get donated in-kind. The response, "Schwank." What is that? AH, schwag. They wanted Tech T-Shirts. So, I am asking every Web 2.0 and nonprofit technology ngo I know to contribute some t-shirts. They don't have to all from the same company or organization. I'd like to them out to the 200 Cambodian bloggers in attendance. I announced this at BlogHer, and the good folks at [|Scrapblog] generously donated a dozen t-shirts to the cause and Tara Hunt is getting a donation from Valley Schwag. I still need more and have been putting the word out on Twitter. So, if you have new (not used) t-shirts with a Web 2.0 or Nonprofit Technology logo on it, please email me (beth.kanter at gmail.com) and I will tell you how to get them to me.

Alex de Carvahlo kindly donated the first few t-shirts for the suitcase!

Christine Songo from Google gave me these t-shirts from their BlogHer Exhibit space.

Thank you to [|Georgia Popplewell], Co-Managing Editor at [|Global Voices] who mentioned at the end of her [|BlogHer session] that I needed t-shirt donations and individuals ([|Jen Lemen] and [|Mom2Amara]) graciously donated t-shirts and I got three business cards from Web2.0/Tech companies and a offer of t-shirts. [|Tara Hunt] offered me a variety of t-shirts from Valley Schwag, thanks! In addition, I'd like to thank [|Britt Bravo] who gave her covered AOL laptop bag to schlep home the t-shirts from BlogHer and to [|Gina Trapani] for donating her extra t-shirts.

[|Click to play] Candace N Nast had a great idea at BlogHer. Buy a T-shirt from [|Creative Commons] and send it to me to pack in the suitcase. Enjoy this blog post by Tharum about [|Creative Commons in Cambodia] and my photo! Larry Lessig responded with t-shirts!
