Act Blue Intergration of Twitter - Grassroots Donating Innovation

I'm a big fan of Act Blue and Twitter . When I found out the new concept where you can donate through Twitter, I was like a kid at a Candy store.

What I love about this partnership is that it has great untapped potential. This concept has the potential to take hold of the "political moment" and turn that into grassroots giving to Democratic candidates.

Here's what Act Blue says

Ultimately, we're looking for a new culture of online giving, not driven solely by asks from candidates and their fundraisers, but a mesh of activity underlying each day's online political discourse.  With ActBlue and Twitter, we can go beyond sending out "attaboys" when a Congressman votes the right way.  Imagine instead if those votes drove a flurry of micro-contributions, or a matching pledge implemented as a Twitter bot that automatically responds to contributions with the matching donor's own gift.

Please set up your express Act Blue account and take aim. This effort will only grow with your use and promotion. I have no doubts that this can and will be a major tool in the 2010 cycle.
