Colleen – likewise, thanks for mentioning SocialVibe. We are excited to be working with Charity:Water and Direct Relief to bring aid to the significant challenges in Asia. We are very hopeful that our model, which relies on brand funds (versus user donations) and social networker engagement with these brands, can help charities make a even more significant impact in solving many of the challenges around the world. Thanks again!

Great! Ike really spearheaded the Red Cross presence on Twitter. You can take a look at the TN tornadoes media room (that Ike also worked to create) if you want some pre-interview research material: http://redcrosstn.wordpress.com/

Hi Claire – thanks for reading and commenting! I’ve got an interview with Ike Piggot lined up for next week when he gets back from vacation! :)
