Don't Just MeetUp. TweetUp!

Don't Just MeetUp. TweetUp!
Although the term, "TweetUp" might be new to a lot of us, some museums and museum enthusiasts have been hosting TweetUps for as long as two years!
So, what exactly is a TweetUp? A TweetUp is based on the idea of taking social networking partially off-line. The phrase was first coined as a MeetUp (an event that participants signed up for through social media, but met up off-line). Then, some very clever Tweeps got hold of this concept and took MeetUps a step further and began Tweeting live during MeetUps...bringing the events to virtual participants while they experienced it themselves....bringing MeetUps full circle.

ContinueHow The Museum Resource Network Began
Once Upon a Time...there was a museum volunteer who found herself saying, "I want to work in a museum! Now what?" After extensive questioning of the museum staff; research into museum studies programs and careers in the museum field; completing a Museum Studies Certificate Program and working on a Graduate Degree - she felt she had to find a way to bring these resources to anyone out there who dreams about working in a museum - but doesn't know where to start. So, with a passion for sharing resources and a knack for working into the wee hours of the morning, her wish came true when she created this network for all of you!
