So... I soon approach my fourth year on Twitter... When realising that I had to sit down and rethink what I've been through on that journey. What a journey! I had to think about the many, many, many tweets I've read on a daily base and the nearly 5000 tweets I've written... most importante of all, my thoughts stops with the enormous amount of people I have gotten in contact with. I have met SOOOO many! Most of them IRL (in real life) which have been a mindblowing experience!
For those of you who know me on a personal level, you know I'm not lying when I say I know a lot of people in Copenhagen as well as in general. Even though, I have heard my self say from time to time, that I have never met so many interesting and friendly people in Denmark, so quickly, since I started to join twitter...
I have used twitter to arrange network meetings for Likemind, to find business partners for Bangura Bags, to bring good people together at Harbobar for #torsdagstradiotin. I've scouted new volunteers for our NGO Masanga in Sierra Leone. I've made the buss driver Mukhtar world famous by spreading a video of him being celebrated on his birthday.
I've used twitter to conduct research, create promotions, get support, find jobs etc. I once helped a fellow tweep to reconnect a lost child with her father somewhere in the skiing slopes in Norway...
***Important to remember is, that Twitter is only a success due to the people using the service! ***And it´s due to the people behind the different twitter names that my experience with the social network is so great! Thanks for that!
Now that I do have a Twitter birthday coming up I thought about throwing a party for the tweeting people! On saturday the 23rd I will host a Twitter Birthday party to celebrate all the good stuff that twitter have brought to life! I have no clue how many people will find this invitation but I can host about 15 people for dinner... So the first 15 tweeps sending a mention on twitter to @ambusanga gets a seat around 18.00. Everyone else are welcome for loose beers or wine later :)
My adress is Heinesgade 7. 3th. 22000 cph N. I'll serve some food around 18.00 and the doors are open from somewhere after 20.00... My flat ain't big ... but its cozy... Bring wine, beers and booze :)
Lets see where this will end! I'm up for the adventure!
