Using The Internet To Do Good Deeds (Video)

By Molly Wood

Editor’s Note: Molly Wood is an executive editor and on-camera personality at CNETTV.com. Molly hosts the weekly Buzz Report video blog, a sort of "Daily Show" for tech news, and co-hosts the hilarious "Gadgettes" podcast, which proves that girls can (and should!) be geeks, too!

This week on the Buzz Report, a report from a party for a purpose…

Fund-raising parties aren’t a rare occurrence, as you know, but fund-raising parties populated by 20- and 30-something techies certainly
are, but hopefully not for much longer.

That is, if the idea behind Twestival — a Twitter-organized festival — takes off. Parties to benefit charity: water were organized in more than 100 cities around the world, with the goal of raising money and awareness. And it looks like it worked!

Also, I wonder if Facebook is actually just plain evil, and gave Apple the business for refusing to get on board with a universal cell phone
charger.

Enjoy!
