TuesdayTweetup is a 100 days Old

Its hard to believe Tuesdaytweetup is a 100 days old today. It was started as a social experiment with a call out on twitter to all creative genuises, social commentators, smart thinkers and digital darlings. The highlights of the idea so far must be:-

  • 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 and an article appeared in the local business pages @dailyecho http://snipr.com/eojq6
  • @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. http://tuesdaytweetup.blogspot.com/2009/04/tuesday-tweetup-video.html
  • 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.
  • 11th May the tuesdaytweetup logos designed by @apatheticmike were launched.
  • 17th May Mashable.com agree to promote the tuesdaytweetup
  • @theroryjackson has confirmed he'll do a 5 minute stand up at the next tuesdaytweetup on the 16th June.
  • 5th June Dockgate 4 have confirmed 50% drinks offer for first 30 minutes and free tapas circulating for the first hour..
  • 6th June @tuesdaytweetup breaks the 300 follower threshold with many followers now solent based

It's been a great 100 days and what started out as a social experiment has grown into a network of talent - @tuesdaytweetup is now counting down to the second tuesdaytweetup at dockgate 4 southampton. It probably will be the event with the most solent based tweeters in one place at the same time - it will be an interesting night.
