HUGATHON # 1 2007 April 22nd 1:00 PM PST
On April 22nd at 1:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time), over 1000 people around the world made the attempt to participate for 1 minute in the first global hugathon. If they happened to be standing by a stranger, anywhere in the world at 1:00 PM PST, they cheerfully asked the person if they would like a hug. No more no less.
The goal was to have people around the world hugging all at the same time.
The hugathon started with 20 emails being sent out on www.facebook.com from Brad Stokes two weeks before the event. This resulted in over 1800 people being invited with over 1000 making the attempt to hug other people given the opportunity.
Remember that it takes no time to make a difference. All you have to do is be creative and be online.
Join Brad Stokes facebook to be a part of the next Hugathon!
