Tweet "I donate 140 yen every RT RT" and as a result of tweeting 2 million yen will be donated

ByRosaura Ochoa

On Twitter I see a person who is tweeting "I will do it when I am on RT", but in the UK "People who tweet a pound (about 142 yen) every time this tweet is RTed once" Received a furious RT storm and got about 2 million yen to donate. Although it seems that it could be canceled as "I can not say twe earlier", it seems that I could not cancel it because I was a member of the House who tweeted me.

It was in Berkshire that I tweeted the problemSloughRepresentative Fiona Mactaggart elected.

On March 15th at 20:25, "If this tweet is retweeted by 21 o'clock, we paid 1 pound (about 142 yen) for each RT as a charity projectComic ReliefI will donate to you "I tweeted ... ...

I will give £ 1.00 to Comic relief for every retweet of this message before 9pm

In this way, RT was done with the rampage momentum ... ...


It was decided to run as many as 12,468 RTs in 35 minutes between the deadline and 21 o'clock. In other words, if you convert it to Japanese yen at the current rate, it is equivalent to about 2,500,000 yen.

Originally, as a result of Mr. Mactaggart 's tweet, I thought that there was an interesting way to increase the donation to Comic Relief somehow, Australian people donated 30 Australian dollars (about 3000 yen) at retweet I saw that it was. I thought that this was interesting and managed it, it seems to have become like this.

MacTaggart told BBC 's interview that he thought that it would be "about 10,000 pounds (about 1.44 million yen)." Before becoming a lawmakers, I had a background that I was a teacher, and at that time I danced as a chicken with charity and taught at Comic Relief.

Regarding this donation, there are many cold voices saying "Why do we treat it with any expenses?", But "From my savings the amount to donate is a lot of money, but there is enough room to put out I promise to donate with my own money. In addition, "I will not promise such a donation on Twitter in the future".
