It’s no secret that the #LRTweetup community rocks. In less than a year we’ve become one of the best ways to connect in Central Arkansas and we think its time to expand. It’s time to take the tweetup gospel statewide.

Introducing ArkansasTweetup.com

Inspired by the success of LRTweetup we want to facilitate tweetups all across the Natural State. We want to organize and promote any existing tweetups and encourage people to start new ones.

And we need your help to spread the word.

Since most of you are already involved in LRTweetup we’d like you to help tell the rest of the state about #ARtweetup. If you have twitter friends and connections in other parts of the state would you mind sending them a tweet?
