You may be active on Twitter, but not entirely familiar with the best way to participate in a Tweetup. Here are some tips to get you ready to attend a Twitter event:
- Tweetup defined. A Tweetup is typically an in person gathering of a group of people who discovered or were invited to a networking event on Twitter. Often attendees have never met in person, but have exchanged tweets or met through mutual Twitter friends. There are Tweetups for just about everyone and everything... from meeting for a chai tea latte, to discussing a shared love of blogging, to a meet and greet before an industry convention in the hopes of making connections prior to the event.

Your first Tweetup may feel a little intimidating, but the more you participate, the more comfortable you'll become. I've made many wonderful friends on Twitter, and would have missed out if I'd allowed my initial fear to keep me from engaging. Good Luck!
