Back in March, I noticed the Dulce Group started tweeting in Huntsville at @dghuntsville.  When I started following them, we exchanges a few DM’s about social media and tweetups.

It seems they have adapted to this twitter thing very quickly since then. The other day I got a tweet  that the Dulce Group was looking into sponsoring a tweetup and then got another tweet today  with the details (I think up-and-coming social media and PR expert @danamlewis might have some involvement too).  It will be at the Ketchup restaurant at Bridge Street in Huntsville.   It is scheduled for May 12th from 5:30pm to 8:30 pm and you will get 20% off your bill if you follow them and have the reply they send you (I’m already following them so I’ll have to ask what you do in this case). 

They are hoping to make this a social event for some interesting human networking although I did ask if they have wifi – they do.  I’ll be the guy trying not to spill his drink on his laptop while tweeting to the person next to me.  (Ok, I’m really not THAT bad )

As usual, you can follow or post any information about the tweetup by using the #HSVTweetup tag in your tweets and searching it for the latest info.

I hope to see you there!  And @dghuntsville, I’d also love to meet the person/people behind the tweets!

P.S. Here is some information on other Dulce Events:

I just got word from @dananLewis that the next Huntsville tweetup will be March 19 at Angel Island Coffee at 6pm.  You can track any discussion about it using the #HSVTweetup tag.

If you have not been to a tweetup before, this is a good place to start.  Angels has free Wifi and good coffee, tea and other drinks.  You can see what happened at that last Angel’s tweetup here.

 Huntsville Tweetup December 30th

I just got back from the tweetup in Huntsville, AL at Angel’s Island Coffee House.  This was a greet meetup with a diverse group.  We had folks from three TV stations, a number of Alabama students or grads, social media experts, PR experts, and I’m not sure who else. Some interesting topics were:

• Adoption of twittter.
• Teaching of social Media at the universities.
• Business use of social media (i.e YAMMER and ESME)
• What businesses or brands should be posting on twitter.
• Dell and Starbucks
• @rdfrench - Auburn PR guy liked by Alabama grads – go figure.

There were other topics too but I’m kind of bias toward the business side and have a short memory  If you want more info, ask one of the folks that were there! They are:

Some that ALMOST came (but at least twittered to us at the tweetup):

It turns out there are quite a few tweeters in Huntsville, Alabama and I saw a few of them start twittering about a tweetup a couple weeks ago.  I thought I’d post info to my blog and let you know how it goes.

Right now it looks like it will be on December 30th at 6 PM at Angels Island coffee house. They have free wifi and great coffee.  I’ll update this page as I get more information.

Feel free to reply to this blog if you are coming or want to let people know your twitter ID.

What is a tweetup?
