Twitter, Business and Birthdays
Over the last few weeks I have written several posts about surrounding yourself with great people. People who make you think, and make you smile, people who challenge you, and people who pick up the pieces when others challenge you! These people will come into your life through all sorts of paths, and sometimes you just have to celebrate the fact they are there.
Today, I got a glimpse of just how many wonderful people Twitter has brought into my life. You see, today is my birthday, and my friend @nancymyrland thought it would be the perfect excuse for a TweetUp. It wasn’t a major landmark birthday, so no special reason for the celebration, except it sounded like fun.. and it was! While many of the guest are long time friends and family, others are folks I had never met face to face.
But there we all were, ready to party, celebrating, life, business, friendship and birthdays with me and my good friend @edeckers ( who had a birthday this week too!)

And if you were there, and made a new friend, but didn’t get their Twitter ID, here is the list started by @kristenhorton. I hope we have close to everyone who was there.

Thanks to Ryan Cox – Here is a typed list you can use to fill in your following

A grand time was had by all.
(I love the marvelously low-tech hand-written collection of Twitter names; it’s like carving a radio frequency into a stone tablet.)
Happy birthday, Lorraine!
@robbyslaughter
Robby,
Good to see you! and feel free to type the list for something more hi tech!
Robby:
If you produce a new list, please add @DrThomasHo & @LauraHo who just “dropped in” to say “Happy Birthday” BUT couldn’t stay long
Was there but had to leave before we made the list! It was a wonderful event and wonderful people! If you produce a new list, add me too since I had to step out early!
@coxymoney
I am hoping someone else will do the typing. There were a number of folks we missed. I hope they will add their twitter id’s here.
But we can add you to the list! @coxymoney
I have no problem putting the list together Business Mom #2 – but your picture is cut off a bit, I can’t finish the names of the right paper
