The Great Aussie Tweetup - Anzac Day

Arising out of the positive feedback we've had from our Leederville Tweetup video on YouTube.com, the desire to create a mexican wave of Tweetups around Australia was born.

So, we made an executive decision, that's @womencan and @ausi1, that we should Tweetup on a signficant day. So the Anzac Day Tweetup is a celebration of the Anzac spirit that pulls all us Aussies together.

#aussietweetup and #town are the hashtags to use to tell everyone about your event.

We are challenging, from a very positive place, anyone out there that would like to start a mexican wave in your area, to start to tweet about this event.

For all the Perth crew, we are going to have our Tweetup at Kings Park Cafe, Kings Park (next to Fraser's Restaurant) and make the most of the Anzac Day spirit that Kings Park embodies at 2pm on 25 April 2009.

Wouldn't it be great if all Tweeters around Aussie got on board and filmed their events and posted them to YouTube.com and then tweeted the links under the #aussietweetup hashtag.

The challenge is on...which town or city or place in Aussie is going to have the best attendance and the most creative video uploaded???

Ranked 15th in the Top 100 Most Influential Twitterers

According to Social Networking News Daily, the list of Australia’s Top 100 Influential Twitterers was created and is powered by @nickhac of ShiftedPixels the Online Influence Agency based in Sydney, Australia.

Social Networking News Daily says that there are many lists out there on the web like Meg’s effort on Dipping into the Blogpond to keep the Top 100 Australian Blogs list updated, and Leigh’s list of the Top 100 Australian Women’s Blogs however, no-one has posted the Top Twitterati from Australia… so Nick took it upon himself to Be The One to do it… and why not seeing as Twitters growth is escalating at a very rapid pace.

Further, originally, he thought to list 50 of the top Aussie Tweeters and once word got out, they all came out of the woodweb and left their ID’s or were recommended in the comments. Hence, it has become a list of Australia’s Top 100 Influential Twitterers.

Of course, if it means getting the positive 'you can' message out there to women, I am thrilled to be listed...
