That's what I'll be saying in just a little while.
I'm headed off to my first official "Tweet up." For those of you that have yet to learn the lingo, I'm referring to Twitter. All the cool kids are doing it - from me (of course) to Whole Foods to Lance Armstrong to Barack Obama. And, tonight, I'm going to hang out, in person, with the local crowd that I pass in the Twitter stream online.
If you are new to the scene and wondering - What the heck is twitter and how do I use it? - here's a few tips:
Be yourself - This is an opportunity to get to know you, not just what you do but who you are as a person. Let your coolness shine through.
Stay positive - Does this need an explanation?! Who would you rather have chirping in your ear, the complain drain or the sunshine train?
Ask a question - Books, food, songs, what inspires people. The possibilities are endless. People like to chat it up once in awhile, take a break from what they're doing that's work related, and share points of connection. At least I do. Ask me a question. :-)
Share resources - There's plenty of them. Whatever field you're in, let the resources you share represent not only your interests but your expertise and knowledge base.
Start there, enjoy, and tweet you all later!
