Successful Twitter MeetUp In Wilmington!

What a fun night last night!  nearly 50 Wilmington residents assembled at Howe Creek offices near Mayfair to listen to some top notch Twitter advice.  For a new twist, we also streamed the Meetup in live broadcast using UStream.tv, and had 10 people watching live from various parts of North Carolina, including Colorado! 

Our focus on this Twitter MeetUp was to field questions from the audience people had about Twitter, then our stellar panel answered them.

Questions ranged from “Why use Twitter”,  “Using Twitter for business” and “What are your favorite applications for Twitter."  Some applications discussed last night included Twollo, Tweet Deck, twhirl, and Twitter grader.  Do you have a favorite Twitter application? We want to hear, please leave it in a comment below!
 
One other neat announcement was Shannan Bowen telling us about the Star News launching a new section of their site listing their Twitter users, and local “tweeps”, here it is: http://www.starnewsonline.com/section/news41

Special thanks to our panelists Bruce Brown of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty, Steve Harrell of Sophic, Shannan Bowen of the Wilmington Star News, and William Lang of Port City Color Copy handled the Ustream PC and fielded questions that came in via the Internet. Oh, I was there of course, Ty Downing with Perspective Internet Marketing and SayItSocial.

I invite all who were there last night to please follow us, so we can follow you on your Twitter journey!

Great job, with super helpful links, Ty. Thanks again for all you do for our local community and for the Twitterverse.

Hey Ty, thanks for letting me be a part of last night’s meetup. I thought the panelists were excellent and the audience did their part with some thoughtful questions. Sorry I had to leave relatively early, but I’m looking forward to the next one!

Hey Ty, great job with the event last night. It’s amazing how much that can be learned over the course of an hour. Let’s catchup soon…

Thank you guys. It would not have been success without all of you!
Ty
