What the F**K is a Tweetup?

Since I joined Twitter, I have particpated in and organized numerous Tweetups. As the size of the Twitter population has grown, I’ve been asked by countless numbers of people, what is a Tweetup?

So, I decided to put this little set of slides together to answer that question. Enjoy!

Detroit Tweetup Recap & Roll Call

Detroit Tweetup #2 was a smashing success tonight. All the local Detroit tweeps met at Buffalo Wild Wings in Novi, MI for food, drinks, and good conversation. It was a lot of fun for all, and everyone is already talking about Tweetup #3. In addition to myself, the attendees were:

I think I’ve left out a few folks but couldn’t grab a business card from everyone. Leave a comment if I left you out (apologies in advance) and I will update the roll call.

Note: @ecedo was there in spirit, and in record time created a Detroit Tweetup site on Ning for us to manage local Tweetups. Check it out here:

It was a pleasure meeting everyone. I look forward to future convos and more Tweetups. Cheers!
