Kris Reyes

Talking Twitter with CityNews Toronto

One of the cool things about Twitter is the connections that you make. People you’d possibly otherwise miss or never know can become either friends or close contacts.

Two people I’ve come to know over the last 6-8 months are Kris Reyes and Dave Fleet.

Kris is a news reporter for CityTV in Toronto, and is one of the station’s key people in the social media space. She understands the medium and encourages the station’s viewers to become more involved.

Dave Fleet is a guy I respect immensely and one of the leading lights in the Toronto social media, PR and communications scene. As one of the guys behind Podcamp Toronto and more, he knows his stuff.

Today, these two met on Kris’s news show and discussed Twitter and its growing popularity and acceptance. If you’re curious about the whole Twitter explosion, here’s your chance to find out why it does what it does.

Oh, and for some reason, they let me join in the fun too. Hope you enjoy.

An Update on the 12for12k Challenge

12for12k-logo-final-v2Now that the 12for12k Challenge has officially launched, it?s beginning to catch the imagination of the media.

The challenge has already been featured in the Mississauga News in the Greater Toronto Area, and the press release is being picked up by various online media outlets.

On top of that, I will be interviewed on Toronto news station CityNews by CityNews reporter Kris Reyes. The interview will take place on the morning of Thursday 8th January, with probable airing time that same evening.

Today (Tuesday January 6) also sees me discuss 12for12k with Beth Harte at The Cause Is The Habit, an online discussion station, where people can learn more about the 12for12k Challenge and how to help the charities involved. You can take part in the discussion by joining in here from 7.00pm EST this evening and selecting the Causechat option from the navigation menu.

With the holiday season well and truly behind us, the big promotional push to raise awareness of the challenge begins in earnest. This is where you can help as well, by telling your friends, family and co-workers about it. If you need any promotional items or details how to donate, you?ll find all you need here.

Thanks for being with us so far – let?s push on and make the first charity WarChild a success.
