A TweetUp is a chance for the people that have been exchanging ideas on line to meet face to face .. share ideas and thoughts.. “network socially”
One of my goals for 2009 was to learn more about social media - I’ve always been way ahead of the curve with SEO and web sites.. but the social media had gotten away from me.
I’ve worked at FaceBook …. Joined LinkedIn … several other “networking” sites .. and really by accident .. found a home on Twitter.
Twitter is a “micro blogging” platform that allows members to post messages of 140 characters, and automatically sends them to all the people the “follow” that person.
Communication is immediate – short – to the point.
At first it seems pretty goofy – you’ll see the …
“I’m doing my laundry”
“I’m cooking meatloaf” posts .. but then something neat happens ..
An agent in Vancouver needs an assistant – posts a Tweet and within 2 hours has interviews done and made a hire.
A visitor to Montreal looking for a restaurant gets directions in seconds.
The plane that landed in the Hudson river is Tweeted to 100,000’s before the traffic helicopter can even find it.
It’s an amazing platform with no limits.
Locally there are over 100 people taking part .. I believe there will be many more soon.
If you’re into now, just getting started or even a little bit curious .. make a plan to come and join us ….
