Omans First Ever 'Twestival'

Thursday, the 25th of March will remain a date to remember forever, at least in the history of Oman's burgeoning Twitter Community. The First ever 'Twestival' was held on board the Hormuz, the worlds fastest (deisel )catamaran and 125 Oman Tweeps gathered to have fun and enjoy an evening on board, in the Arabian sea.

But more than all of that, to support the cause of education in the Sultanate of Oman .
Within a very short span of time, RO 825 had been raised and this was aided by another RO 500 contributed by  one of the sponsors for the event.

We saw a wonderful sunset, accompanied by the sounds of the Arabian Oud and a guitar playing in the background, had a chance to meet and interact with so many new people, (hopefully some of whom will become friends).

Most importantly, I believe that it has laid the foundataion for what can be a very powerful tool of communication- the 140 character thing called Twitter/Tweeting, something which will help form more and closer bonds of communication in today's world.


A very special Thank you to the core organising committee, as well as all the sponsors.
Not to forget, a special hats off for the fact that it all came together in......5 days!

Way to go, Oman Tweeps and may your tribe increase.
