Tweetworks

I met a fantastic lady named Lesley Lambert at PodCamp Western Mass who, in addition to being totally awesome in her own right, recently joined Tweetworks and set up a group called TwitterQueens. It seems Lesley and a group of ladies get their tweet on with the hashtag #TwitterQueens and she thought it might be a super cool idea to use Tweetworks for the group. She asked if I would profile the group on the show and I thought that was a fantastic idea. In fact, I thought a whole show celebrating the women focused groups on Tweetworks would be cool. So here we go!

• TwitterQueens (created by Lesley Lambert) – Social Media Vixens using the internet for fun, profit and glory!

1. BusinessBloggers – @DeniseWakeman started this groups and she is setting a fine example for group engagement. Do you write a blog for your business?

3. SoS – I’m staying on the Sustainability of Social kick for a few days more because I think it is hugely important. I hope you’ll join me and share your thoughts. In this episode I’m teeing up financial aspect of the sustainabily issue. I highly recommend you watch the NewsHour debate on the newspaper industry, Gary Vaynerchuk’s (@Garyvee) Web 2.0 NYC Keynote, and the greatest entrepreneurial speech of all time by David Heinemeir Hansson (@D2H). Together these videos provide some interesting food for thought.
