social media

San Diego is a Social Media hub, the twitter, blogger, and Social Media community is one of the best in the country.  One of these reasons are for the wonderful Tweetups, Twineups, and social gatherings.  Many of these social gatherings also support a local or national charity which makes them even better in my book!

Last year one of these great causes Twestival raised over $250,000 for clean drinking water with a combined effort of over 200 local Twestivals all over the world.

Yesterday I found myself sitting on a plane in Las Vegas dying of heat just as I heard the pilot come on to say we are being delayed so they can fix one of the indicator lights.  I was thinking to myself, why not just leave us in the boarding area until this was fixed?  So I pulled out my iPhone and opened Twiterrific the application I use for Twitter.  Not really thinking much about it this is what I tweeted:
