    I'm not posting here to tweet my own horn. About an hour ago I got this hair brain idea inspired from a Twitter user I do not know, met, etc. I was reading my DM when I read that I was his #100 follower. I linked to his account then linked his Bio URL. His name is Brian (http://twitter.com/oflynn) and according to his website, he'll be tweeting 6 hours straight, bringing awareness to Haiti relief efforts. That got me to thinking. How about a “Haiti Twitterthon?” I googled it and found no such named events scheduled. So I drafted Brian. Here is where the fun part comes in. Brian lives in London. He probably is sleeping now. I'm pretty sure he knows nothing of what I have in the works–him hosting it with a goal of raising $10,000,000 in 6 hours. But when he awakes in the morning and logs onto his Twitter account, he'll be shocked. Once again, I do not know Brian prior to a couple hours ago and what I have stated here. Here's my question. Can this become viral by morning? Just a little fun for our UK friend(s) and possibly reach that goal of $10,000,000. I'll even co-host if drafted. Thank you so kindly for allowing me to post this here. Patri Penix.
