Your tweet, which can include your thoughts on the fall of that edifice - or any other walls that should come down - to "make our world a better place," will then appear on the interactive Berlin Twitter Wall site.
2) Who doesn't like free stuff? To celebrate the release of their upcoming album, This Is War, 30 Seconds To Mars is doing a cool giveaway, "30 Guitars in 30 Days." Until November 5th, all you have to do is go to this link to send a tweet and be entered to win one of 30 Michael Kelly Nostalgia Series guitars. In the midst of rehearsing in Los Angeles, the band's guitarist, Tomo, spoke to me about the giveaway, the new album and using social media to engage the band's fans.
