Over the last week we have seen Global Entrepreneurship Week grow into an entrepreneurial movement across the globe. There have been activities in communities in more than 90 countries. People have been following the news about GEW in our newsroom. But that has not been the only place where people have been able to follow what has been happening for the Week. GEW has started a movement on Twitter. If you are following @unleashingideas or any of the country campaigns you have surely seen all the updates. There has also been a hashtag - #GEW - that has made following the activities even easier. There are still two days left until the Week is officially over, but let's recap some of the top tweets from the last five days.

The opening day of Global Entrepreneurship Week was a busy day with big events everywhere. Mexico had an opening ceremony that included a panel on the challenge of undertaking to change the world:

@GEWMexico: GEW Mexico ha sido inaugurado, con el panel "El reto de emprender para cambiar al mundo" en el auditorio de NAFIN, Ciudad de México.

In the United States, NYSE Euronext and mtvU held the second Mentoring Madness at the New York Stock Exchange with some great entrepreneurs like Blake Mycoskie of TOMS Shoes, Barry Sternlicht of Starwood Capital, Stephen Hanson of B.R. Guest Restaurants and the one and only Snoop Dogg who gave some great advice to young entrepreneurs:
