Why You Should Come to the Westchase Tweetup!

With the coming up on Friday, I have had people ask me what exactly is a "Tweetup", anyway? And why would I want to go?"

It is a fair question.

Lots of people go to theme to parties and a Tweetup is kind of like that but the theme is social media. So even though everyone may have different hobbies, and work and different industries, and be from all different places, they all have one thing in common: they like to communicate online.

And just because Tweetup takes the "Tw" from Twitter, doesn't mean that you have use Twitter to come and have a good time. You could use anything online - Facebook, Patch, LinkedIn, etc. Whatever is good for you. 

Tweetups are great for lots of reasons. You've surely encountered interesting people on line but don't know a whole lot about them. They might be somebody that you've chatted with on Twitter or noticed some interesting posts from on Facebook, but haven't really talked to them in person to find out what inspires them to post such great things. I've met some very good friends in real-life at Tweetups just like that.

But Tweetups serve another purpose -- they are the 21st Century business networking events! They give you an opportunity to find people in your social sphere that you may not have connected with before. Whether you are looking for a job, are looking to hire someone, are looking to find a client for your company that chances are excellent that you'll connect with somebody at a Tweetup.

So check out the this Friday. It promises to be lots of fun and very productive.
