The key is to engage, and to not be afraid to reach out. I have met a lot of great people, gotten some great ideas, and such through Twitter. And of course, I am starting a business based on a Tweet, as you mention in the article. I do have to say, I am a little jealous of those of you who get to do Tweetups. Being from a small town, there probably won't be a local Tweetup any time soon. Guess I could drive to the "big city." For those who can't see the value of a tool like Twitter, it all comes down to one thing: relationships. From relationships spring opportunities. Great article!

Tweetups, the hashtag live chats, businesses being formed, podcasts created, Twitter is one heck of a powerful tool and I'm glad someone's trying to prove it! I'm glad Desiree touched on the multiple sides, not just business and communication but also keeping the "social" in social media, tweetups and real world gatherings, even job hunting from unique people meeting on twitter and connecting in the real world. Well written, two thumbs up!! Well first of we GREATLY appreciate the plug, but what you have to say is SO TRUE!
