Tuesday Tweetup What A Week

It's been another good week for Tuesday Tweetup. Lots of great comments and feedback following the launch of the TuesdayTweetup Video (see last post). @theroryjackson and @mynameisbainsy really did a great job and as we know from @mynameisbainsy's latest tweet the filming is the fun bit its the editing that takes the time - thanks again guys for your hard work.

Following the launch of the video the online twittering between the tuesdaytweetup clan has increased. @Tomchapman put out a cry for help and @apatheticmike came to his rescue; @winchesterweb was looking for media contacts, @kevinbriscoe and @icicle_halo_ were happy to help out. Plus people are starting to ask, who else will be attending the tuesdaytweetup on the 16th June.

Solent Based Social Media Events & Tweetups

Since launching TuesdayTweetup I've been impressed by the number of "events" that are starting to spring up to get like minded people talking.

#openwebsoton was hosted on April 16th at Royal Southampton Yacht Club - the photos and videos look great and it was attended by people from across the South.

#winchesterweb is a monthly event held in winchester attracting winchester based creative types - the next one is happening in May and it really is starting to get a following.

And then today was the launch of @HiSpeedTweetup for those Solent based creatives that travel from the IOW to Southampton on a regular basis - a 23 min tweetup first thing in the morning - sound fab.

Twitter and Tweetups are really getting like minded people connected - that's got to be a good thing.

Tuesdaytweetup Is A Month Old

Its pretty exciting when you think Tuesdaytweetup is a month old today. @tuesdaytweetup went live a month ago. This blog was created on the same day. A few close friends followed pretty quickly and then word of mouth and the twitter machine took hold. The following highlights @tuesdaytweetup's journey.

• Dockgate 4 agreed to host the event providing the piano bar for exclusive use by solent based Tweeters.
• @dailyecho and @sccevent quickly supported the event and included @tuesdaytweetup in the #followfriday campaign.
• @adammanning and @icicle_halo_ were soon promoting the event within their own twitter circles.
• @theroryjackson and @mynameisbainsy volunteered to film the event as part of the social experiment.
• @spindrwoody secured media coverage on the business pages of the daily echo.
  
• 31st March circa 70 tweeters and facebook followers attended the first tuesdaytweetup event at dockgate 4 piano bar.
• 1st April @catstormont wrote about the tweetup on her blog site and this was quickly followed by @adammanning and @jtonline.
• 6th April one month on photos of the event appear in scene south daily echo pages and followers of @tuesdaytweetup have one more day to vote in the poll on the frequency of the future tuesday tweetups.

Its been a busy month and hopefully a beneficial month for the followers of @tuesdaytweetup with a total of 168 followers, mainly based along the south coast the future of the tuesday tweetup looks promising.
