What can I say other than bowled over. Another great night at the tuesdaytweetup and some great feedback. The tuesdaytweetup is still in its infancy and its clear we are all still working out what to make of it - but I guess that goes for twitter too!
Is the tweetup a business event? Is it aimed only at media types? Is it a techie event? or is it a social event? And I'm beginning to realise it's what ever people want to make it.
As for who was there, who was mixing and mingling and really getting behind the event and enjoying the company there are too many to mention. The guys behind @collaboratehq arrived before anyone else and they are an interesting bunch with an office opening in Italy soon. @kevinbriscoe, @lwarren17 and @lisaharris were quick to follow in their footsteps and start mixing with the tweetup crowd. And i finally got to meet the man behind the logo yeap @apatheticmike who was at the event with @tomchapman who has a great understanding of the world of twitter.
Among the new comers to the tweetup were @bennap who is expanding and opening an office in southampton shortly. @barrysampson who recently launched onlightment and is a big player in the e-learning circles. @jofarnold presented at openwebsoton and reading his blog site seems to be a serial technical entrepreneur. @alicedickenson who arrived with @catstormont both work for alto marketing you may have spotted recent tweets about their marina offices. @quaiacom new to twitter and a twitter skeptic on the night but i think we all managed to convinced him that there is far more to it than just updating on status.
But for me the highlight of the event was meeting up with @sotonrich, @neicey and @ljattrill who had all arrived bravely at the tweetup not knowing what to expect , had meet each other for the first time and grabbed me at the end of the night singing the praises of the tweetup while hot footing with others to finish the night at Pizza Express.
All of this has got me thinking what is the tuesdaytweetup it started off as one thing but i'm starting to think its turning into something else ... roll on tuesdaytweetup 3!
