We had another interesting tweetup in Huntsville this month (thanks, Chris Depew for the above photo). I’m not going to try to post names of who was there since the tweetups seems to becoming increasingly virtual. I’d recommand you start tracking the #HSVTweetup tag to see who particpated.

Frank Snyder was good enough to stream the meetup over Ustream.TV which I think added a really good dimension to the tweetup.  A lot of folks joined in virtually and were able to chat with us and bring up comments.  

Dan Saterfield joined in and tried to get some technical support for his email. I tried to tell him we are a social group, not a tech group but I don’t think he believed me  I saw he got his problem fixed before the meeting was over so he may have been right.

The diversity of the group is what I’m finding most interesting. I tend to hang out with a lot of engineers and I’m guessing the marketing folks tend to hang out with other marketing folks, the PR students and recent grads tend to hang out with other PR folks and the bloggers tend to hang out with other bloggers.  The tweetup creates a more mixed group.  We are all using twitter and social media but with different perspectives, goals, and interests. Its good to see the other views.

For the next tweetup, we are talking about a new location to make it easier for folks on the other side of town (and Athens and Decatur).  Stay tuned…
