June 20, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Don't worry–you don't have to be on Twitter or have to know what a Tweet-up is to join in this Thursday… it's really just a chance for local folks to get to know each other better.   Tweet-ups were started so that people could meet the folks they've been chatting with over the internet in various social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook.

If you're a small business who's been considering social media, you may want to attend to mingle with those who have successfully implemented blogs, Twitter and Facebook into their businesses.

The West Seattle Tweet-up is taking place on Thursday, June 24, 2010 starting at 5:30 p.m. in the bar at Salty's on Alki.

Please bring a can of food to donated to the West Seattle Food Bank.
