Charlotte Wordcamp

Twitter Meetup with a Heart

jak — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 03:10:27 +0000

Building on a great community showing at Barcamp, the Charlotte Social Media crowd is hopping with happenings. The next of which is a great event for a great cause.

Twestival is a global city-by-city tweetup aiming to bring together social media enthusiasts to raise money for a great cause, charity : water. Each city’s event is run by local volunteers with all proceeds going directly to charity, to help provide wells and clean drinking water to the world. How are they organizing such an effort? WordPress of course. The Twestival website, city sites (including Charlotte), and development blog are all being run on WordPress Mu.

Give some to this great cause by attending the Charlotte Twestival event next Thursday, Feb. 12th. Buy your tickets now (all proceeds go to charity : water) as cheaper tickets will not last long. Spend as little as $5 or as much as $100, whatever is within your budget. They are also looking for sponsors of $300 or more in order to help reach the goal of raising $5,000.

Twitter Love at WordCamp

At the beginning of CLTwordcamp, the 120 person audience was asked “Who doesn’t know what Twitter is?” It had already come up in conversation a few times. 1 person raised her hand. I am sure there were a couple other shy folks, but to say the least, Twitter was represented well at the conference.

Here is the CLTwordcamp tag on Twitter. Ben Ullman also wrote a good post on his interaction with other Twitter users at the event.

CLTWordCamp, blogging, participation & introductions

Wayne Sutton — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:14:10 +0000

We’re almost halfway through CLTWordCamp , the morning started off with short 20 seconds introductions from the entire room, that went surprislly fast & well. Then we broke up into two sessions, 1. a WordPress for Beginners and the others had an open discussion (camp style) on wordpress.

We just finished our session on Technical & Design of WordPress and now it’s lunch time. Of course to follow the conversations do a search on #CLTWordcamp using search.twitter.com.
