Below is a tweet from earlier today.

If you have something important to do, it would be wise to start on it now and not wait. Starting is the first step to attainment of any goal or mission.
Possible Life Applications [PLA’s]
Can you think of any other applications where doing it now is better then later?
Tweetups are gatherings of peeps [people] who tweet [use Twitter]. Using tools such as Facebook etc has made them quite popular. This popularity has lead to strong and growing attendance [see Detroit Tweetups]. Even when an event is not actively promoted, 15 people show up. That is rather impressive.
When group size becomes large the effectiveness of the group declines. Connections are not as strong as they might be. One might even argue that they are weak. In any case, late last year a few of us were discussing how big the attendance was for recent tweetups [100+ attendees]. At that point we began to meet at a coffee shop under the premise of doing smaller scale tweetups [aka: a mini tweetup].
It is time to launch that idea again. There should be mini tweetups all over a large metro area such as we have around Detroit, MI. Other places are welcome to launch their own events. There should be events every day of the week. Collaboration on ideas is powerful. The network effect will connect people to the resources they need. Resources are best connected in smaller groups where trust can be built. It is also critical for needs, known and unknown to be uncovered. Some people need things and don’t yet know it. In a small group setting these can better be unearthed.
The hashtag I’ll be using for mini tweetups is #mtweetup. The m stands for mini. As a suggestion it is a good idea to keep group size below 8. Even 7 might be too many. If the number of attendees becomes too large, consider breaking the group apart. Move to two places at the location of any events. Perhaps one group could relocate to a second place. This will will expose more people and businesses to Twitter, people and the events that are happening.
What are your thoughts?
Just created a Twitter hashtag of #Go4It. Used it to encourage someone to take action on two great ideas.
#VTOS = Virtual Tweetup on Skype
This is an experiment. This is a way of brining people together virtually to live chat. Participants may or may not know each other at beginning of chat.
Plan is to begin by just using the instant message function of Skype. Perhaps at some point in the future there can be voice and video. Voice may be useful for having people speak on specific topics one person at a time.
Started a new hashtag on Twitter this morning. #myteams
First tweet is here > #myteams
Let me add a few more teams below. These are not teams in the traditional sense of sports. They are more like areas of participation. By joining the conversation, one can share ideas with other users on how to create more value from group interaction. The sharing of IDEAS and adjusting them to make them better and better is powerful. This is like continuous improvement [see also Kaizen]. Everything can be made better. There are no limits on human imagination that we do not set for ourselves.
What are your Teams?
