Twibbon - highlights of the month - July!
July got off to a speedy start with thousands of you supporting the most famous and gruelling cycling race in the World; the Tour De France.
The cycling wasn’t the only sporting event keeping us busy this month as the Open Golf Championship began on the 14th; the occasion being marked by two Facebook apps created for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, engaging fans with the competition.
There were also two big sporting events being prepared for - South Africa fans were getting ready for the Rugby World Cup in September by celebrating Bok Day – and the London 2012 Olympics flagging up that there is only one year to go until their big day!
For our American cousins July 4th was celebrated in style with a Twibbon made in-house here at Twibbon Towers!
July was also the month where we were taken over by ABC and Seventeen Magazine in a bid to stamp out cyberbullying. They managed to get an incredbile 67,000 Twitter and Facebook supporters to add their Twibbons - and the number is still growing!
The final segment in the Harry Potter story came to a rip roaring end this month and Potter mania lead to over 4,000 fans adding his 7 Twibbon!
When New York became the sixth and largest state to legally allow gay marriage on the 24th of the month, GLAAD decided to celebrate by making a cute Twibbon for their followers. Their cause was helped further by a well followed Twitter user Ricky Martin adding the Twibbon himself!
The tragic and horrific events of the 22nd of July in Oslo and Utoya brought forth a mass outpouring of sympathy for the Norwegian people. This support was reflected on Twibbon, with a staggering 103,000 people adding the Twibbon for Norway before the week was out - becoming the 5th most supported Twibbon we have ever had. Hundreds added words of support on Facebook
