Twitter Tweet Up! Live More!

I was ecstatic when I saw a Twitter Tweet Up was happening in Manila. Let alone that the actual people from Twitter were going to be here. Thanks to the good people from Smart Communications Inc., Smart's Social Media Team and Smart Bro for hooking us up just to get to see them in the flesh. From developers, social media professionals, celebrities, power twitter users and bloggers, it was a nice occasion to see the faces behind the usernames.

They started to show a short clip about how Twitter started and how a small social networking and microblogging tool just became a part of our lives. Today, Twitter has around 200 million registered users who send over 400 million tweets daily. The Philippines is a powerhouse and we ain't called the selfie capital of the world if we weren't one of the biggest countries in terms of traffic. You know how powerful we are trending various topics from Mactan to Tirad Pass. Aside from that, the executives, developers and engineers from Twitter were there to have fun with the Pinoy Twitter public!

And of course, the Philippines know how to party! The simple tweet up that was meant for 30 people just ballooned into 200 in just a few hours! Imagine that!

They went ahead and entertained our questions later in the evening. They also gave away official Twitter goodies by asking Trivia questions to the audience. Thanks to founders Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass,Evan Williams and Biz Stone we now have a platform where to express our thoughts in cyberspace through 140 characters.

Shout out to our friends from Twitter @foshihzy @arvindergujral @dbedingfield @lsellier @timw @amishah, I hope you had a great time in Manila and wish you could do more of this TwitterTweetUps soon! Smart Bro promised there will be a next one - and I'm sure that will be even bigger! You can click this for more photos of the TwitterTweetUp in Manila.

Neil Kornswiet and San Francisco

It's so hard to even think about getting a place of your own these days but if the need arises you really have no choice. My friends from San Francisco did experience a lot of hardships when the financial crisis struck the US. Aside from moving into a smaller home they need to have one they can afford. Since they got new jobs for T and W who are - let's say the biggest retail stores in the US - now is the time for a bigger one so they can live comfortably. I know in some way Neil Kornswiet and other real estate professionals can help them get that new dream house back. They have real great information about real estate advice. I see that they always know the big potential of a place. If I couldn't get to them maybe these experts would do.

I've read some very convincing thoughts from Neil Kornswiet and have seen Seattle to be in the same state. Though the figures of the economic turmoil greatly affected the country they are still optimistic that there would be space for recovery. I wouldn't give up on mere initial numbers. It's not a losing battle and if I need to fight for the value of our home, I'd be in the front line and have my friends get their well deserved home.
