News1130 Tweetup x Cactus Club Cafe x Broadway

News1130 Tweetup at Cactus Club Cafe on West Broadway on November 16, 2010.



Despite my obvious loyalty and allegiance to CBC, I am a big fan of the social media stuff the fine folks over at News1130 (CKWX) are doing.

This goes double for Managing Web Editor Erin Loxam who spearheads all the social media at Vancouver's news station.

The interactive Twitter wall (above) was particularly a big hit throughout the night with people furiously tweeting on their smartphones.

Everyone was talking about the great turn out. So many well known Vancouver Twitter folks were out in fine force. It got crowded really quick and quite warm.

It was hard to maneuver with all the waitresses. The free drink and great snacks helped out the ambience. I was impressed by the abundance of appetizers, especially the burger sliders which were delicious.

What a great night full of awesome tweeps. Not since Vancouver Foodster's 1st Anniversary event have I met up with so many Twitter peeps.

I think my BCIT Broadcast Journalism colleagues were a little overwhelmed with the experience at their first tweetup standing in the corner. It was nice seeing so many familiar faces and not just from Twitter avatars.

A definite shout out goes to News1130 for organizing a great event.
