Tweetups

Last week at the NALP Annual Conference, we attended our first tweetup - an in-person gathering of folks that communicate via twitter, share similar interests, or are tweeting their way through a common activity (like a lecture, concert, or conference). Many decry twitter as senseless microblogging babble about the minutiae of the day but in reality, we've connected to new colleagues, renewed relationships with others, and been able to stay abreast of breaking news through the tweets we follow and the groups with whom we interact. To learn more about how to use twitter in your career development, check out the Social Media Guide in the Symplicity Document Library.
