Are you a Twit?

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. You may have heard the likes of Jonathon “@wossy” Ross, Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) and Channel 4 News (@channel4news) talking about Twitter.

I’ll leave you to Google yourself silly about what Twitter is and go straight to Tweetups (oh, did I mention we like our Twitterisms?)

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 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. 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.
