Pune Twitter Meetup – Largest in India so far…

@bhavis is now my pet name… and thanks to Twitter.

I was following many never-met followers. Always wanted to meet-up with them and know them in person. So at WAT Blog Purva, Rohan, Navin and Dhananjay along with me planed to have Pune Twitter Meetup. This would be a social gathering of twitters, out of the web world to an air breathing environment.

I always believe in doing things differently; so decided to make it big and get media attention. FAQ to me on this event:
Q Why do u wanted media to cover this event?
Ans: So that many people who are unaware of this communication tool, join it and make it a best place.
Q Why aiming to make it the Largest Twitter Meetup in India?
Ans: Punekars do not believe in doing small things, we rock and we wanted to prove it this time too.

The Event took place at CCD, FC Road on 7th Feb at 7pm. CCD guys were ready with seating arrangement of 45 people and for everyones surprise 60+ twitters turned up.

The meet witnessed great talks and discussion on:
1. Why and how to use twitter
2. Does and don’ts at twitter
3. Twitter – a Business development tool
4. Exchanging knowledge, updates, ideas and opinions in twitter
5. Green Pune and All information about pune through twitter
6. What if twitter charges for usage?
7. Romance and meeting soulmates via Twitter

We had a good encouragement from Media and thanks to Pune Mirror, DNA and Indian Express.
