The Tweetup Girls bring together hip business owners and social media gurus at their events. That synergy is putting Milwaukee on the map for social media success.

Michelle and Jeanette are at the forefront of social media, proactively researching and measuring the impact of twitter on small businesses. The best part is, they do their work in real time, with real clients—while everyone benefits.

 
If you live in or around the Milwaukee area and have been introduced to Social Media within the last year, odds are you know Michelle and Jeanette, aka “The Tweetup Girls”. They’ve taken the art of networking and combined it with social media tools to create an entirely new category of events, let’s call it a digital cocktail party of sorts.

 
I call them the glamorous girls of tweetups. Nobody attracts the who's who of small biz, big biz and not-quite-a-biz to events like the Tweetup Girls. They're smart, sassy and business-savvy friends that know exactly how to put social back into social media.

Social Media allows for some great connections to take place. Meeting Michelle and Jeanette you quickly notice (yes their good looks) but also their enthusiasm for Twitter. Twitter isn't all fun and games, it's a real business tool and the TweetUp Girls demonstrate that with their TweetUps. If you ever get the chance to attend one... GO!

Being a social media skeptic, I was hard pressed to understand the value of such an event initially but was quickly swayed when the results became evident. We are starting to plan our next gathering and have every intention to partner up again with the TweetUp Girls insuring success.
