TweetsGiving ran tweets to help build a classroom in a school. The web-based project was set up to raise $10,000 for the school located in Tanzania, and how the word spread!

So many might have planned to pull off something creative with with Twitter, most of them did capitalize the idea and turned successful while others just kept dreaming. Well here is one service that lets you Twitter for the future.
