Before you ask, it’s not about intelligence and it has absolutely nothing to do with Roald Dahl.

A “Twit” as they (we) are affectionately refered to is someone who tweets on the increasingly popular micro-blogging service, [Twitter](http://twitter.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk). You may have heard the likes of Jonathon “[@wossy](http://twitter.com/wossy?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)” Ross, Stephen Fry ([@stephenfry](http://twitter.com/stephenfry?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)) and Channel 4 News ([@channel4news](http://twitter.com/channel4news?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)) talking about Twitter.

I’ll leave you to Google yourself silly about [what Twitter is](http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=what+is+twitter&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) and go straight to [Tweetups](http://www.wordspy.com/words/tweetup.asp?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) (oh, did I mention we like our [Twitterisms](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twitterism&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)?)

A Tweetup is a meetup of folks co-ordinated through Twitter. Often Tweetups are created along some common interest or cause. For example, there was a recent global Tweetup called [Twestival](http://twestival.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) which aimed to raise money for charity.

Well, the Tweeps behind The Lichfield Blog are having their own little Tweetup. So if you’re a Lichfield Twit, or live nearby, why not join us? We’ll be meeting on Tuesday 10th March at [The Bowling Green](http://www.emberinns.co.uk/thebowlinggreenlichfield/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk). We’ll probably start around 8:30pm and continue until our thumbs are sore from tweeting!

In the meantime, you can follow the discussion about our [Lichfield Tweetup on Twitter search](http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23lichfield+%23tweetup&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
