Why DO I Like Tweetups

Recently, I was at the #nwitweetup (Tweetup in Northwest Indiana) and Kyle P Lacy was a guest. It was great to have a guest at our tweetup who really “gets” twitter.

An additional event that helped inspire this post was that I attended a social media training event hosted by Kathy Sipple.
