I attended my very 1st “Tweet Up” last nite. What is a “Tweet Up” you might ask. A “Tweet Up” is a meeting that takes place amongst people who are connected someway or another on Twitter. This event was hosted by a Twitter friend of mine named @SwarthyDaisy. @SwarthyDaisy and I have been friends on Twitter for quite some time so i was very excited when I heard that she was putting this event together. Held at Thai Fusion and aptly called “Thai Tweet Up” this meeting far exceeded anything that i expected. I found the ambiance of the restuarant to be very inviting.
I was greeted at the door by @SwarthyDaisy. Even though she and I have attended several of the same events, we had never met face to face. Its always fun meeting people that i have chatted with online. She is just as friendly and outgoing as i thought she’d be. I was the 1st one there so I helped her and her husband set up the giftbags that she’d prepared for us.
The bags were filled with various items that I cant wait to try!!

The area of Women & Finance was represented by @AndreaAmir founder of Smart Money Chicks a site that helps to create financially savvy women through education, webinars, discussions and events. Health & Wellness was represented by Dalia Kinsey (@EatingBeautiful) She is the creator of EatingBeautiful.com a site that explains how we can escape the diet trap by making certain lifestyle changes. In the area of Technology we were introduced to Reggie Levine.

You can find him on Twitter @LeReg on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/LeReg and on the net http://www.reggielevine.net/. Art, Photography & Jewelry was represented by Wilma Jean aka @MsLeJean. Her “She” art series is outstanding and I am hoping to grace my walls with one of her pieces soon. Do yourself a favor and check out her work http://wilmajean.com/.
