I couldn’t hold anymore to talk of Twittday. Its appearance in the official blog of Twitter and the announcement of Twittok herald the arrival of this informal meeting of users of Twitter that began with a first meeting on the 2nd of October, 2007.
The architects of this movement are the argentinians MarilÃn Gonzalo and Juan Gigli who with the excuse of getting to know other argentinians based in Madrid, have been able to attract a lot of people who think that Twitter is a new way of communicating, sharing and getting to know.
A number of Twitterers and bloggers have joined the organization of the event and are helping spread Twittday to other Spanish cities and looking at Twittok, it seems also internationally.
For more information on Twittday, I recommend you read the interview given to Pisito en Madrid.

A quick post to comment on what has happened in the iWeekend held this weekend in Barcelona.
From the ideas presented on Friday evening, the idea selected was Democratic Advertising and on Saturday they started working on it. It seems that the first hours of work on the idea were filled with tension because they couldn’t come to agreement on the method of working.
The idea was first named LimonAds, but a cheeky/greedy/creepy/thief was quicker and stole the domain name, so they quickly changed the name to AdLemons, which I like more.
From what it seems, they have had time to shape the business idea, but I don’t know much more. I think that a weekend falls short for starting a web and do the first trials. It would be interesting to see how the project develops from now on.
