#beatcancer hashtag challenge
October 17, 2009
This month is breast cancer awareness month and tweeters were challenged to make #BCawareness a trending tag. It might have worked except PayPal then teamed up with #beatcancer to get it to the number one position in trending tweets in one day. Paypal will pay 1 cent for every tweet, blog post and facebook update with the hashtag #beatcancer… and it worked.
If you haven’t yet joined in, you have 1hr 30 to get in on the act (from the time this was posted).

you’ll be pleased to hear that they broke the world record (which was the aim) and they raised £70,000 for Beat Cancer. The Twitter was full of it from all over the world. It was great to see social media being used for such a great cause.
