Some might say a Tweetup is supposed to be open to all, but that's open to interpretation. And some people are actually selling their services as tweetup organizers. While there might be a niche there, it's not really that hard. I think now that we’ve had time to ponder it, it’s just a gathering of social media-connected people.

Thanks for doing so, Geoff.

(He has his original usage bookmarked.) While most tweet-ups are social occasions, a new trend is to hold tweet-ups in conjunction with a social cause, i.e. the Austin Blood Drive Tweet-up, which produced a record turnout and the highest number of first-time blood donors for the Central Texas Blood and Tissue Center, and the recent Vancouver Tweet-up Heat-up, an impromptu gathering of Twitter friends to bring coats and warm clothing to the homeless.

Gives them a chance to exchange information at a whole different level than text snippets.
