Social Media often gets a bad rap for being a place where people push their own agendas above all else. Today I am going to point out one individual who is using Twitter for the right reasons. She is raising money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Want to know what the most amazing thing is? Bailey Browning (@LittleChuckFan) is only 9 years old and has raised OVER $3,500 for her cause!!

One you have donated, please leave a comment below as I am hoping to give something away.

There are many things you can adapt this script to do, such as putting the users username in the database to make sure a user can only Tweet once, finding that users pictures and show all the users that have tweeted so far or just sending an email to say thanks.
For this we just need an index page, some nice CSS, JavaScript for the AJAX, and PHP to search through Twitter using Twitters’ search API.

Javascript will also be added to the sign up process to make it nicer for the users. Read more »
