LRtweetup has had some great press coverage of late and we always want to say thanks and highlight the work of our friends in the media.

Where my tweeps at? by Sync

@SyncWeekly wrote one of the best tweetup articles we’ve ever read. They did an amazing job of capturing the spirit on history of #LRtweetup.

"People are just so helpful and want to share their knowledge and that’s where I learned all the basics of it. There’s so many people out there who are ready and willing to make it easy for you and bring you into the community."

Check out the full article online and make sure to follow our friends @SyncWeekly. Thanks Sync!

When Bryan and I first went to a “tweetup” last summer, I pretty much thought we had crossed the line into complete geekery.  I kept trying to explain it

I would have never thought, then, that by now we would have shared meals together, or that I would have gotten so much good advice on topics ranging from how best to communicate through social media to how best to sit whilst appearing on TV.  I have gained much from knowing these people.

But perhaps the best part of the process for me has been realizing that while we may heartily agree on the best movie we saw last year, we don’t always agree on everything else. It has turned out to be a new way for me to see the personal side of whatever the topic of the day is – to understand the ‘other’ side.  To give a little more room in my heart.

We couldn’t agree more.

What’s your experience with LRTweetup? We’d love to hear from you. Blog it and send us a link or you can email us directly at info [at] lrtweetup.com.

Wow, what a tweetup. It’s too late for a full write up but I wanted to share some video and links to Jimmy Wayne and the #MeetMeHalfway awareness campaign.

Jimmy Wayne is a country music recording artist that is walking halfway across the United States to raise awareness about homeless teens. Here’s a clip of him sharing his story at tonight’s tweetup.

Find out More:

• Follow him on twitter, @JimmyWayne
• Visit http://MeetMeHalfway.JimmyWayne.com
• Become a fan at Facebook.com/JimmyWayne
• He’s also doing a mobile video blog

We were honored to have Jimmy tonight and we think this is a great cause so we want to help spread the word.

Check out Cotton’s great post with some links to music videos and more. While we are in our warm beds he’s sleeping in a tent in the parking lot of the Capitol Hotel. Here’s his video from 10:44P tonight.

Thanks Jimmy, consider #LRtweetup your newest supporters.

Ready for a laidback atmosphere? What about a very cool sneak peak?

You can enjoy both at this months tweetup at Prost, Jan 28 5:30pm

From their site:

Prost the newest addition to Willy D’s Little Rock is now open. Prost is a pub style bar with great beers on tap and a wide selection in bottles. Prost also offers great gourmet sandwiches and sausages. If you are looking for great food and cool chill place to have a beer Prost is for you.

Good food, beer, and some room to chillax sound just right for LRTweetup. Prost is kindly offering a few specials to us and we’ll update you as details come in.

But now for the big news…

Sneak Peak from Arkansas.com

Our friend @DenaJill from Arkansas Parks and Tourism is going let us be the first to see the new social hub of Arkansas.com. How cool is that ? What better place to talk about social and the web than at LRTweetup. We’ll also have all of the Arkansas’ travel bloggers join us for the preview. Social medians and bloggers in the same room could lead some to really interesting ideas about sharing travels from around our beautiful state.

We are so pleased to welcome Dena and the Department of Arkansas Parks and Tourism to this months LRTweetup. We’ve all been watching their innovation and they are just one more reason I’m proud to call Arkansas home. (Maybe if we’re nice we can get a preview of their soon to be released iPhone app).

Please use our twtvite to RSVP and the event to your calendar.
