Just to clarify, about 21 people attended this HRVA photowalk tweetup and of that 21 in attendance, about 15 were previously on Twitter while the others were not (although all are on Twitter now). 90% of us didn't know each other except through interactions made via Twitter. Because of the relationships that had developed over Twitter, there was definitely a "long-lost-friends-reuniting" vibe in the group when we finally met.
This was a very successful tweetup, in my opinion, because it revolved around an activity. I'm incredibly proud how well this tweetup turned out and I am so happy to have finally met the people I had been tweeting with over the past months. We really ended up with a pleasant, fun, and diverse group of people and I thank EVERYONE who showed up. I had such a great time.
Oh, and the photowalk part was cool too. =)
