Marketing Geeks + Beverages = BOSup 2008!
Posted by Ellie Mirman on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 @ 09:17 AM
I figure it's about time for me to throw a BOSup blog post in the mix in order to share my great time and, of course, photos too. At this point, if you're reading my blog, you're likely a marketing geek like myself (or a marketing geek in denial... or a family member) so this post will not shock or confuse you.
As much as I may try to contain my marketing geekiness, I tend to talk about twitter quite a bit and even try to recruit my family and friends to sign up. So far I've been largely unsuccessful. But perhaps my relaying of my weekend attendance at BOSup 2008 will finally sway those reluctant people.
What's amazing to me about twitter is not only that you can connect with all sorts of people that you would otherwise never have had direct conversations with, but that those connections are not limited to online, loose conversations. Case in point: BOSup 2008, a "tweetup" as we so call it (twitter + meetup) that was completely organized on twitter for twitter folks in the Boston area (or those who were visiting at the time). Just a regular night out on the town - but with name tags and lots of marketing geeks (I say that lovingly, as I am, and love, a marketing geek). It was great to meet so many new people, see old friends, and also meet my tweeps who I had not yet met in person.
Here are a few photos from the event. They're also posted on Facebook - please help me tag / identify people and feel free to friend me if we met at BOSup and we're not yet friends!
