Metricula's Manic Mondays
This past Thursday I went to my local instance of [Twestival]. Twestivals happened all over the country on the same night to raise money for [charity: water].
If you've ever been to any kind of real-life Twitter event, you understand the surreality of meeting so many people from the internet all at once. There are some pictures up at the [Raleigh Twestival] and [Triangle Tweetup] Flickr pools. (Here are a couple of me [wearing a "Pump up the Jam" shirt I reconned myself] and [with a moustache and some of my raffle-won swag].)
Anyway, I LOVE TWITTER. I've made real-life friends through the service, found out about awesome local goings-on, won free swag in local contests, and found a place in my local bloggers network. Also, you can follow [LeVar Burton], [Whil Wheaton], [Felicia Day], and [Brent Spiner] among others. You can also [follow me]. :)
Do any of you use Twitter? Have you been to any tweetups? What were they like? Do you think it's a waste of time? Do you have any favorite desktop or iPhone apps for it?
And here's an unrelated picture:
