Twitter Becomes Popular In Croatia!
It's been less than a month that I tried to use Google for searching Croatian web sites where word 'Twitter' has been used. Unfortunately, I have to say that result has been disappointing! There wasn't even one full page of results with links to Croatian pages which mention Twitter! In that moment, there was only handful of Croats on Twitter and they mostly used English in their communication among themselves and with rest of the world!
Today, situation is somewhat better. So, Twitter become popular in Croatia over night? Apparently, that's true! This is great news for all aspects of Croatian economy since Twitter opens doors to whole new world of opportunities!
Another good thing is that there are few people who use Twitter as a tool for promotion of Croatia and this is a reason why this page will be made with it's twin page written in Croatian language / hrvatski.
Video Competition: Why Croatia?
Croatian promotional project called Why Croatia? has been initiated by a group of volunteers who are active on internet but also has been active on Facebook and Twitter for a while. In basics, project has been thought out as a video competition of clips which present the best of Croatian tourist offer. People even went through trouble of finding sponsors for this action! (Well done!) All clips published so far can be viewed if you click on following banner:

Few Ideas For Personal Promotion of Croatia!
If you're in bad relationship with camera!
I know I am! :) You're Croat (or not! as nobody says that only Croats can promote Croatia) and you would like to help out in promotion of Croatia since you live there and you think it's best country for holiday, or you visited Croatia and it remained in good memory? You are not very good in making movies so this competition isn't something you would like to be part of? That still doesn't mean you can't help in promotion of Croatia!
Here are few ideas how you can promote Croatia (without spending any money!):
1. If you run a blog make a post about places in Croatia you have visited and describe your best memories....
2. If you have on-line store, add few items with Croatian theme...
3. If you're member of Facebook or some other social network, upload your pics and share them and your experiences with your friends...
4. Make a Squidoo lens on this theme! There are not many of us here but even one of my friends from Cyprus made a very good quality lens about skiing resorts in Croatia (OK, he didn't go over summer but on winter vacation!)...
5. If your English is good, make a promotional article on Hubpages, eZineArticles or some other web site...
6. With whom ever you talk, specially with foreigners - on work or privately, always speak well about beauty and other aspects of Croatia!

- Very interesting lens and great ideas to promote Croatia. Looks like there is a lot of opportunity in this area. So I'd say continue to encourage people to use social media sites, submit articles, make more YouTube videos. I think it's a great opportunity for you too. I liked the funny YouTube video! :)

- Fabulous idea. It seems like the only time Croatia is mentioned in mainstream media is negatively. I support your move to get some positive news out there.
