Introducing: Twlight Earth's Sustainable TV and Simple Earth Media
When you first hop on Twitter, it can feel like a wild world of the west. People are shooting information from every direction, and it's hard to know when to duck and when to catch. Twilight Earth was one of the first accounts I learned to trust and follow, and I still remember the giddy feeling I had when they first RT'ed us (it was like being asked to dance at the prom). So needless to say, we consider it a great honor to be one of the featured video providers in their new Sustainable Video TV News initiative. The videos will feature information on green living and will come from a variety of sources, including our good friends at elephant journal.Why Twilight Earth? Adam Shake, founder of Twilight Earth explains how his blog came to be:
I was actually in a local bookstore a couple of weeks ago and I noticed the Twilight movie and book shrine they had set up. (The popular teen vampire movie) It was incredible. They had books, magazine, t-shirts, ball caps and everywhere I looked, all I saw was TWILIGHT. They even had posters on the wall behind the checkouts.
The next day, the author of the vampire book sent a Tweet out on Twitter, thanking me for being a fan. Of course I tweeted back that @TwilightEarth has nothing to do with her franchise and that we have been around since long before the movie even came out. We are about the environment and people.
Twilight Earth stands for a brighter future. Video, movies and new social media are just a few ways to help bring about that brighter future. That's how I came up with the idea for TwilighTV.
We've always been about collaborating with other great websites and writers, and this is one of the reasons for our success. Current TV is one our favorite sources for video news and we thought this would be a natural fit.
Adam isn't one to lounge about, and recently announced the launch of Simple Earth Media:
What makes Simple Earth Media different from other environmental blog networks is that each one of the channels are already established and have their own social media followers. As an example, Twilight Earth has over 20,000 Twitter followers, but as a group, Simple Earth Media can claim almost 50,000, making it one of the single largest environmental forces for change on Twitter.
Combined with Facebook pages, StumbleUpon accounts, freelance Digg experts and almost a dozen of the Internets best environmental writers and experts, Simple Earth Media is ready to take New Media to the next level through writing, podcasting and even videocasting. We are ready to make a difference as a combined force for good.
