Laura Fitton (aka @pistachio) the Twitter for Dummies site where folks are contributing ideas and tips to help write the book. In addition, 10% of the proceeds will benefit a charity to be nominated by the community.
I nominated the Sharing Foundation for the following reasons:
In July/August 2007, I launched my third fundraising campaign to support the Cambodian Bloggers Summit and the Sharing Foundation. That's when I used Twitter for the first time for fundraising for a charity. Was that the first a charity used Twitter for fundraising? I'm not sure, but at least one of the first.
It wasn't the last time either. In October, 2007, using Twitter - and with Chris Brogan's help (and 81 other people) we sent a young Cambodian woman to college in 24 hours. Last August, 2008, 250 wired geeks at Gnomdex used Twitter to raise college tuition for a young Cambodian woman in 90 minutes!

Lots of great information being shared there already so check it out and contribute to the nonprofits and Twitter section or nominate a charity - or go give the Sharing Foundation a thumbs up!
