There are alot of reasons to go to a Tweetup! I am looking for the 5 best reasons. And if you elaborate, you will probably be viewed at a higher level by the judge (wink, wink) Comments by Facebook Fan page members get a 1 point advantage, so think about being a fan as well.

Seriously, (I can’t believe I just wrote that)…tweetups for me have always been alot of fun and the business that has resulted from my going has been a bonus. I have been to tweetup’s in Vegas, Ft Lauderdale, Atlanta and places I can’t remember (I did say I have a good time didn’t I? 
) and for the most part have had them always result in some sort of new business or a strategic alliance.
So…put your tweeter hats on and give me 5!
By the way, the next Tweetup in Hall County is August 10. Click here for details!
