Lotus Knows Lotusphere’s first ever Tweetup!

I am very excited to announce a Lotusphere mini Tweet-up at the Opening Reception.  This mini networking event will allow business partners, clients, and friends that are active within the social space to connect and meet in real life.

So far, we have had a very warm response from the community to the tweet-up and I wanted to personally extend the invite to anyone else who is able to join at 6.30PM at the Sunday night Opening Reception.  If you are interested in attending or assisting with the tweet-up, please feel free to ping, email or tweet.

My co-hosts of the event: Rani Salehi, Brian O’ Curran, Luis Benitez, Sonia Malik

Let’s meet near the playground near the Grotto Pool. We will probably move to “N” besides the Pool.

According to mashable.com, Twitter meetups, or Tweetups as they’re commonly called, are pretty much ubiquitous these days. You can’t escape them. The @ nametags. The random awkward conversations that result when you have more than 140 characters to express yourself. Tweetups take an otherwise great service like Twitter and turn it into something much bigger. Lotus knows the power of the community.

Twitter merges with Linkedin

New social media platforms have the tendency to bud, blossom and then pollinate with others. Continuing with this trend, Twitter recently announced that users will be able to display their tweets on Linkedin. This idea is by no means new. Facebook and Twitter have long been microblogging partners. But there is an interesting twist. Since Linkedin is a business social network, many users would rather their personal tweets stay off. To avoid potentially embarrassing gaffes, just add #in or #li to the business tweets and leave them off your updates about your cat’s latest antics.
