    OK- I searched twitter for “tweet4good” and came up blank. Then I followed the link from the post above to http://www.tweet4good.org/ and found a website in Spanish called Fundapi. I didn't see any directions there on how to set this up on my website to encourage twitter donations (my spanish isn't bad, but I didn't get into details). What's up?
