With One Week to Go

Over 700 page visits to this blog since Friday evening. About half are links from Twitter others are as diverse as Huffington Post and James Thornett. So thanks to all of you for linking, visiting, Twittering and following the blog.

Looks like I'll be having a late night next Tuesday. I'll stock up on provisions over the weekend.

Thanks for the support.

The Next Morning

The idea of #byebush came about on a Friday evening UK time.

Most people were off doing something other than hanging around Twitter. In the US it was Friday afternoon; again a time for thinking about Friday night and the weekend.So I have been really surprised that the idea has taken off so quickly.

As I write three people are following this blog http://www.blogger.com/followers.g?blogID=2126915771378663422 and there have been a few tweets – most of those are by people who I’ve not linked with until now.

It’s a simple idea. At the moment President Elect Obama becomes President Obama:

• Take a photo
• Upload it to the web
• Post a Twitter with a link and the tag #byebush.

For why? Well, why not?

Byebush

Here is the idea. At the moment that Barak Obama takes the presidential oath and the power of the presidency leaves George W Bush we all take a photograph of where we are, what we are doing and the people around us - or what ever we want to take a photo of.

We post the photo to our favourite photo sharing site (or blog or website as you prefer).

Then to twitter.com

Send a message tagged #byebush.

I'm not sure what to do after that - ideas welcome.
