The time has come for #tweetea – Michigan’s longest-running weekly tweetup – to spread its wings. #tweetea has gone through many different phases and many regulars of the event feel it is time to share its awesomeness across the region. That is where YOU come into the picture.
This is a great opportunity to join the conversation in real life. We have had many people converse with us through the #tweetea hashtag that have never been able to join us. Now here is an opportunity to host your own at your local tea/coffee shop and meet some of the people you tweet with on a regular basis. We have been beta-testing locations on the east side of Metropolitan Detroit, but there are plans to set up shop on southwest (Plymouth/Livonia) and northwest (Farmington/Novi) corners soon as well.
Each region will need to have its own host or ambassador, if you will. There is not a ton that hosts will need to do other than serve as the conduit for conversation. Regional ambassadors should look forward to collaborating on coming up with the weekly discussion topics as well as sharing “what works and what does not” in their area in considering the format for #tweetea, but that is not a requirement. The Royal Oak #tweetea at Goldfish Tea is the central hub, where the weekly discussion topics and memes-of-the-day will be disseminated. Thus, taking out the grunt work of keeping your local version fresh and engaging. If you are interested in being a regional ambassador for #tweetea in your neck of the woods, then please contact Hubert Sawyers III via e-mail (hsawyers [at] gmail.com) or Twitter (twitter.com/HubertGAM).
