Enjoyed this post! I’ve heard of Twitter before and never knew what it was, but now I’m intrigued!

Nadine,

Thank you for joining us at what seems to be one of the biggest Tweet-Ups in Hawai’i with 39 in attendance, and about the same amount virtually viewing.

I may be the exception, but fashion for me is as important as keeping up on the latest tech gadgets and social networking tools. Maybe it’s because I know there will already be cameras and live streams!

Twitter is a wonderful resource and used for so many different reasons, by different users and has evolved to more than what the designers initially planned. Alltop is grateful to the Twitter community for their suggestions, feedback, and leads. If and when we ever get to the point that Guy speaks of, it translates to traffic which flows to the sites featured in the Alltop categories, resulting in profits for all.

In the online world, traffic is everything!

Aloha,
NEENZ.

Hi Nadine,

Sorry we didn’t get a chance to chat at the event. Loved your write up though - very frank and funny in a similar style to Guy K!

Look forward to catching up with you on Twitter now.

Aloha, Roxanne

Hi Nadine. Great synopsis on the Tweetup and Twitter in general. Bummed I couldn’t make the event but saw the rebroadcast on USTREAM.TV thank to @infinitypro.

I like Twitter for all the reasons you mention above. It’s a great medium to share ideas and get immediate feedback.

Sincerely your Twitter follower,
@golfnutn8

I saw your name on the RSVPs so was hoping I’d see you there. I was looking for you. Didn’t know you could O.D. on avocado!

I was sitting across from Guy, from where I took the photo. I’m glad I wasn’t on the video! But there was no shortage of cameras, iPhones for that snap-happy bunch.

You might have heard my voice in the early audio. Someone had asked Guy why he doesn’t start a co. to create jobs in Hawaii. He said something along the lines of entrepreneurs not going into biz to create jobs, but to create a service that makes $, and jobs are the nice side effect.

So of course I had to ask how Alltop makes $. He imagines that if he has 100 sites and they all make $2,000 in ad sales a month, he can just sit on the beach and collect the $. And it’s the Twitterers who are doing all the work for him in coming up with ideas and feeds.
