		<description>&lt;!--%kramer-ref-pre%--&gt;[...] I must admit, the first thing I wondered when I heard about the campaign was quite how the funding of the farming supplies was being provided. Presumably not just from the charity&#8217;s usual funds, as the incentive link then just wouldn&#8217;t make sense. Yet there was no mention of any matching grant from a major donor to incentivise the sign-up of followers &#8211; which would have made sense. It turns-out I wasn&#8217;t alone in being confused, as revealed by Geoff Livingstone from the PR agency behind the campaign in a blog post earlier today where he seeks to clarify the situation.

		<description>Hey Geoff,

Thanks for the post and for continuing the conversation. I know we&#039;ve talked between the two of us, and are going to post another follow-up. In the meantime, I&#039;d like to state here that my post was in no way intending to &quot;attack&quot; anyone or be directed towards any one org. Mainly, I made an observation that organizations, including non-profits, are increasing their efforts to increase Twitter followers. I was mainly trying to bring people together over this type of tactic, share best practices and make a wider discussion so that we could all learn from each other moving forward as even more orgs and people look to implement this type of tactic.

I&#039;ll save the rest for the follow-up. ;)</description>
