Join the “Power The World” Twitter Flash Mob!

The United Nations announced this week that they would team up with Linkin Park to provide electricity to the 2.6 billion people that have no or only limited access to electricity. In order to heat their homes, cook for their children etc. many of them have to use dung, kerosene, petroleum and other substances which may present a health risk.
One of the aims of the new “Power the World” campaign is to raise awareness. You might have noticed that I’ve started a series of articles all dealing with this issue during my “Power the World” week.
Another way to reach this aim is, of course, to get #PowertheWorld trending on Twitter. As this is most successful if many people tweet this at the same time, I’ve decided to organize a little flash mob!

Date and Time:

The flash mob starts tomorrow (Saturday, November 12) at:

11am (CST) USA
12am (EST) USA
5pm (GMT) UK
6pm (CET/MEZ) Central Europe (Germany)
7pm (EET) (Greece)
2am (JST) (Sunday: Japan)
4am (AEDT)(Sunday: Australia)

1. I couldn’t include every single country in this list, but I guess the list is an orientation, so that you can calculate the time for yourself
2. I know that the time is quite late/early for Japan and Australia, but firstly, this time includes the most countries, and secondly, we count on you to join us as soon as you’ve woken up.
3. Please share this information on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, LPN, the Linkin Park fansites (LPL, LPT, LPA, MSC, LL, CBN, etc.)

What to do:

The main task is to include #PowerTheWorld in as many tweets as you can! There are several tricks how you can be most effective:

1. Use multiple accounts on Twitter. This is really easy, all you need is another E-Mail adress and then you can just use your accounts to tweet like crazy.

2. You help the cause even more if you tweet useful information like Links, Articles or videos in order to educate your followers about the issue. Here are a few examples:

powertheworld.org
sustainableenergyforall.org
musicforrelief.org
unitednations.org

There are also many articles on the aforementioned websites. Of course you can also share my articles about this issue! ;-D

      Lol, I’m a nerd? Hell yeah! Do I have a live? For sure! If you’d have as much going on in your live as I have in mine you’d probably break down in a heartbeat. Still, I do a Twitter flashmob (yes, really!) to help people that don’t have the privileges I have. That’s just how awesome I am! Also the flashmob was a huge success! Thanks again to everyone who helped including Amelle from The Sugababes, Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park, Pendulum etc. POWER THE WORLD!
