Des Moines TweetUps are de-centralized, self-organizing events for Twitter addicts in the Central Iowa area. We get together to chat about the web, technology, new media and all sorts of geek topics. Location ideas are always welcome in the location ideas page.

 

When organizing or referencing Des Moines TweetUps on Twitter, let's use the hashtag method: #dmtweetup. You can easily track #dmtweetup hashtagged discussions via TweetScan or over at Twemes.com (Twitter Memes). Check out the Tweme Cloud for the past 30 days on the Twemes homepage - #dmtweetup is one of the most prominent ones!

 

You may also follow @dmtweetup on Twitter for event updates.

 

If you wish to be added to the #dmtweetup website at http://dmtweetup.org than send @abrudtkuhl a message and he will add you to the website and make sure you get al the details.
