Eva Longoria uses Twitter to raise funds for Haiti

Eva Longoria Parker is making optimum utilisation of Twitter for a noble cause—she is raising funds for housing in earthquake-ravaged Haiti via the micro-blogging website.

The actress has asked her famous friends to agree to follow a fan for a fee.

Devotees will get to bid for the chance to become a Twitter friend with their celebrity heroes and heroines when the Twitchange auction begins in mid-September, reports the Daily Express.

Ricky Martin, Simon Peg and Nicole Richie are also among the hundreds of celebrities who have signed for the ahomeinHaiti.org, an organisation working towards re-building infrastructure in Haiti.
