Twestival Review
Last night was the inaugural Harvest Twestival; organised perfectly by Amanda and Ben and sponsored, in part, by us.
It was the best meetup event I’ve been to for a long time. If not the best night out for ages.
The London Twitter crowd are a genuinely lovely mix of people. A vibrant mix of creatives, webby types, designers, bloggers, developers, musicians, podcasters, PR folk and everything inbetween. We talked about music, user experience, Twitter, iPhones, booze, photography, becoming a MySpace band. Everything.
We met those we’ve followed for ages and got to put faces to usernames. I met friends of friends who I didn’t even know were on Twitter to start with. What more could you want from an event?
All in all it was a brilliant chance to catch up with old friends and acquaintanc
es, as well as a perfect chance to make new friendships and tap into the collective wisdom of our local Twitter scene.
We’re anticipating the next one. No pressure guys!

I can’t believe I missed this! Will teach me to go away on holiday and have a week away from Twitter
Looking forward to the next one too – and hope I’ll be around for it.
