Maine Tweetups: Bringing Twitter Networking to Real Life #metweetup
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Since January, Maine has been celebrating tweetups like no other state. Originally started by @therichbrooks and @ccmaine, folks in the Portland region have been putting aside their iPhones and BlackBerrys (for the most part) in order to enjoy each others’ company in a physical capacity.
What’s so great about a Maine Tweetup? Well, one of the criticisms of social media is by using it, you lose the personal connection: with a voice or a face. This way, we’re getting the best of both worlds: the massive power of social media with face-to-face interaction (and perhaps a cocktail or two 
).
Furthermore, it’s great to get out in Portland and enjoy the company of so many great people.
Live in Maine? On Twitter? Well, join us!
