@jillmz, @sheilamc7, @jcnork Since I just put up a #followfriday post earlier today, I’ll skip the explanation. Read that post of you wonder what this is all about.

@jillmz has been visiting Woodbridge and we’ve been talking about getting together for dinner, coffee, or something like that. Jill and I met online when I started blogging about the Doninger case. We found that we had a lot of common interests and ended up meeting on election night at NPR studios in Washington as we blogged the results. She writes a wonderful blog, Writes Like She Talks.

When things started firming up for the Greater Woodbridge, CT Independence Tweetup, I contacted @sheilamc7. @sheilamc7 is the chair of the Woodbridge Board of Education and secretary of the Woodbridge Democratic Town Committee. We’ve often shared discussions about politics, education and social media and I thought she and @jillmz would enjoy meeting one another.

The next person I contacted was @jcnork. @jcnork is from the neighboring town. His wife is a teacher and I’ve often discussed politics, education and social media with him. He attended the first Greater Woodbridge CT Tweetup and we often share information online.

It was great that everyone managed to take a little bit of time out of busy holiday schedules to gather and talk and I look forward to the next Greater Woodbridge CT Tweetup. If you wonder what a Tweetup is, get the book Twitter For Dummies
