What do you get when you combine social media, celebrities & a lot of cash? You get twitchange, the first every celebrity auction on Twitter and it's all for good cause. Now, that is thinking with our Generation Y noggins.

Twitter users can bid to get three things: be followed by their favorite celebrity on Twitter, retweeted, or mentioned by them in a special tweet (meaning everyone who follows them sees your message)! Fans that admire particular celebrities, businesses that want to be mentioned to a HUGE audience, and charitable people that simply want their money to benefit a great cause for kids in Haiti (www.aHomeInHaiti.org). I understand if this may be an odd concept for you. Until recently I was not a Twitter advocate but I have been convinced.  The latest news is all over Twitter first plus people have some pretty funny things to say.  For twitchange you can purchase your Twitter-friendship with a celebrity like Justin Bieber who has 5,264,502 followers that's a lot of advertising potential. Social Media is the way to make the world your neighbourhood. Want in on the action? Bidding started yesterday and ends on September 25, 2010: http://twitchange.com/.

Who's behind this snazzy new idea? Shaun King, self described as a 30 year old husband, father, pastor, and grad student (in that order) from downtown Atlanta. Lead Pastor of The Courageous Church – a brand new, diverse, exciting community of faith that just launched on January 11th, 2009! Before I put on my SuperSuit and go live out my call in the city, I fix my five kids a bowl of cereal, change diapers, pack lunches, and give my wife a kiss.
