I have wanted to jump on the twitter bandwagon since it first started to get buzz. I'm always the early adopter amongst my social circle.  Sometimes the only adopter or I can get some people to use it then it's tossed aside (remember dogeball?).  1000+ friends on myspace and facebook and I have less than 10 friends who regularly update that I've known before signing up for Twitter.

Anyways this blog isn't about twitter hitting the mainstream, I just wanted to write about my own Twitter experience, specifically meeting up with people.  Compared to when I first started meeting people from off of forums.  If you're unfamiliar with twitter the following video explains it the best.

So hows it like in person?  Lets say you work for a corporation that sent you to a conference where the after reception has food doesn't suck and the drinks are free.  In a situation like that some people would argue thats where most of the business is done and some would argue that its just great social fun with people you have a few things in common with.

That is #SDTweetup for you.  Theres a major amount of business going down but equal amounts of fun.  Sponsors are actually companies that you would want to find out more about.   I usually walk away learning something new and with a list of things to look up when I get home.  I've also fell off where I've perched myself into a bush from laughing out loud at someones story.

SDtweetup is definitely an event I won't miss ever.  I've been around since the first one and I plan to be there for the last one.  If it ever stops that is!

Here I am at the last SDTweetup
