The third nfptweetup, or meeting of charity/voluntary sector staff, agencies and others interested in how Twitter can be used by charities, took place on Wednesday last week.
I was unable to make it, but still managed to take part in the early stages using Twitter (of course) and by viewing a live broadcast of the event.
The event got underway with an introduction from Rachel Beer of Beautiful World, who displayed a collaborative slideshow from participants and other contributors:
Damien has shared a video recording of part of the event in which Andy Williamson describes Twitter as a 'digital mayfly', a means of finding out what is going on right now:
Noonan Media have published four snippets of their live video coverage of the event:

The event was also broadcast live on Christian Aid radio.
Adam Waller, also of Beautiful World, has shared photos of the event on Flickr:

The third NFPTweetup was a great evening and cheers to all the lovely people who joined us at the venue, online or on Christain Aid radio.
