My First Detroit Tweetup
One of the great things that I’ve experienced while using Twitter is meeting local people that have the same interests as I do. In this case it was the second Detroit Tweetup, and I was able put faces with the people that I’ve been communicating with over the past few months. We talked everything from tech, design, to social media and Twitter.
I wasn’t able to meet everyone, but I was able to hang out with @ccarmichael, @kenburbary, @damonhenry, @snicholson26, @typeis4lovers, @chrisbrogan, @kewlrats, and @hajjflemings, just to name a few. Sorry if I’ve forgotten to include your name!
The social media scene around Detroit seems to be growing quite a bit, and it’s exciting to be apart of it. I’m very much looking forward to the next Detroit Tweetup. If you’re on Twitter and live around the Detroit area, you should definitely make it out to the next one.
Update: Damon Henry posted pics from the event. And Ken Burbary has pretty much the full roster of Tweeps at the event.

I’m glad I got a chance to meet you. I’m lucky that I get to meet Twitter folks when I travel. Makes the experience more fun. : )
Glad I got to meet you too Chris. You came to town at a good time. It would be interesting (if time permitted) to travel around the States and go to different Tweetups.
