It's Not What You Know It's Who You Follow

Really impressed with so many of the local @tuesdaytweetup follower profiles and the @tuesdaytweetup tweets. The adage "it's not what you know it's who you know" for me is starting to be "it's not what you know it's who you follow"

Not an hour goes by on twitter when tuesdaytweetup doesn't witness followers helping followers out. It's really great to see and that was the inspiration for the tuesdaytweetup. It's a local event, to share ideas and bring the world of twitter into the real world. It's so true, at the last tweetup people felt as if they already knew each other, when all they'd been up until the event was just an avatar on the twitter timeline. Twitter is a great ice-breaker and the tuesdaytweetup provides the time and space to really get to know your followers better.

Since launching tuesdaytweetup:-

  • @theroryjackson & @mynameisbainsey have happily provided their video services to the first tuesdaytweetup,
  • @wozman provided his technical wizardry and re-enabled the wifi set up at dockgate 4
  • @adammanning promoted the tuesdaytweetup at the future business growth network
  • @kevinbriscoe and @icicle_halo_ provided media contacts to #winchesterweb
  • @apatheticmike designed the tuesdaytweetup logos
  • @clar_key and @botleypark suggested some sponsorship ideas - that are still in the melting pot
  • @sccevents and @dailyecho continue to plug the event
  • @fhoke had a request RT'd to the tuesdaytweetup followers looking for iphone developers
  • @hispeedtweetup and @winchesterweb have been promoted to the tuesdaytweetup followers
  • @benjiegillam had a request RT to the tuesdaytweetup followers looking for other southampton based tweeters interested in creating a hackerspace in the city
  • And cheekily @tuesdaytweetup quickly found out what time the 17:35 train from waterloo got into Southampton Central.
It really is a case of it's not what you know it's who you follow - thank goodness for twitter - and the followers of @tuesdaytweetup
