LRtweetup has had some great press coverage of late and we always want to say thanks and highlight the work of our friends in the media.

Where my tweeps at? by Sync

@SyncWeekly wrote one of the best tweetup articles we’ve ever read. They did an amazing job of capturing the spirit on history of #LRtweetup.

"People are just so helpful and want to share their knowledge and that’s where I learned all the basics of it. There’s so many people out there who are ready and willing to make it easy for you and bring you into the community."

Check out the full article online and make sure to follow our friends @SyncWeekly. Thanks Sync!

KATV Daybreak #LRtweetup

Our own @JessicaDean helped spread the word about #LRtweetup during last Thursday’s KATV Daybreak. They invited us to Community Bakery for an early morning gathering and Jessica interviewed @Angelmg and myself. Just click LR Tweetup in the sidebar to see one of the interviews.

Thanks to @JessicaDean and @KATVnews for spreading the word about LRtweetup.

When Bryan and I first went to a “tweetup” last summer, I pretty much thought we had crossed the line into complete geekery.  I kept trying to explain it

I would have never thought, then, that by now we would have shared meals together, or that I would have gotten so much good advice on topics ranging from how best to communicate through social media to how best to sit whilst appearing on TV.  I have gained much from knowing these people.

But perhaps the best part of the process for me has been realizing that while we may heartily agree on the best movie we saw last year, we don’t always agree on everything else. It has turned out to be a new way for me to see the personal side of whatever the topic of the day is – to understand the ‘other’ side.  To give a little more room in my heart.

We couldn’t agree more.
