Mainstream media sucks. Cuz according to coverage on the radio, news shows and even trending topics on Twitter, reality shows like The Hills and Jon & Kate Plus 8 are more important than reality like the thousands of lives devastated by Typhoon Ondoy.
That’s just bullshit.
So over the past few days, AJ Rafael was on a mission to raise awareness of the crisis. AJ’s goal: give recognition to the Philippines in the form of a trending topic of Twitter.
A couple days went by and all AJ had to show for it was a few dozen retweets, which is hardly a blip in Twitterland. But with a simple point in the right direction, AJ & friends were able to get #HealPhilippines to the top of the trending topics list on Twitter!
In just three hours of broadcasting on UStream, there were over 7,000 instances of #HealPhilippines showing up in the Twittersphere! That’s HUGE.
And to top it off, we managed to raise over $1,200 for those in need!
To everyone that was a part of tonight’s (and last night’s) fundraiser, thank you. Know that somewhere out there, a life will breathe easier because of what you accomplished in just the past couple nights.
