<p>A couple of times a year I try to raise some money for charity in a fun and interesting way &#8211; I&#8217;ve sold a <a href="http://omelett.es/journal/2008/06/16/cat-5-ethernet-dog-lead/">Cat 5 dog lead</a>, sponsored <a href="http://www.twestival.com">Twestival</a>, and <a href="http://www.spendmeter.com/about">donated some of the profits from Spend Meter to charity</a>.</p>
<p>This year I thought I&#8217;d try something different &#8211; for <a href="http://twitter.com/jake/status/1158417264">every new follower I get on Twitter, I&#8217;ll donate 10p to charity</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-105" title="Corwd of people - http://flickr.com/photos/victoriapeckham/164175205/" src="http://omelett.es/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/followerssmall.jpg" alt="Corwd of people - http://flickr.com/photos/victoriapeckham/164175205/" width="446" height="335" /></p>
<p>Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not forcing people to follow me, or trying to buy friends, I just thought it was a fun way to get people involved in the process &#8211; they can even <a href="http://twtpoll.com/espy67">vote for the charities</a> the money is going to.</p>
<p>So please feel free to pass this on, and we&#8217;ll see how much we can raise.</p>
