Twitter in Person, TweetUP, the Northwest Indiana Way

TweetUp! The NWI TweetUp

As Social Media grows it also grows around Northwest Indiana and the the need to be…Well, social grows as well!

It is not merely enough to just sit in your office, your home or the bunker and expect business and new friends to just roll in. There are so many opportunities out there for networking with local chambers, BNI, other lead groups across Northwest Indiana, but the one that I am really enjoying that meets on a monthly basis is the local TweetUp. You can do a search for it #nwitweetup on Twitter. We meet the 4th Thursday of every month. And, they are popping up around the world with ones being held in Chicago, LA and even just 20 minutes down the road.

This month however, I decided to bring my camera and let everyone that wanted and make the ones that did not want to introduce themselves. I think next month, I will narrow it down and try another angle. Here are some of Northwest Indiana’s local Tweets.

If you are sitting in a bar with a couple of buddies telling old college or “war” stories and each one keeps getting wilder and harrier than the next one then you are “1 upping” each other. Perhaps, that is the one place that is allowed and even forgivable.

Not sitting in a networking meeting such as a BNI or a Chamber event. I have noticed more over in those events that are open to those that open to more than one person in a profession. I tend to prefer those “open” networking groups as opposed to the closed of BNI. I like having a choice of who to use and I am so confident in my abilities that once you use me you will keep using me.

Well, I made a quick video to show you what I am talking about.

Remember with Social Media and Web 2.0 you need to be social and you need to get out of the Bunker.

Charge-offs, how do I delete

Creditors typically write-off or charge-off debts that have had no payments on the account for more than 180 days, or six months. However, this does not mean the consumer is no longer responsible or accountable to the unpaid balance. A charge-off is an accounting procedure used for tax purposes by the creditor to report losses [...] Read more »
