Tweetea is a funny name for a gathering. But, that doesn't matter, 'cause it's a popular one. There are tweeteas across the nation. And, a little closer to home, a healthy, well-attended one in Royal Oak.
Excerpt:
We're about fostering respectful, productive, conversations and
action about Detroit. It's been a part of our mission for awhile – where
people actually get together, face to face, and get involved in various
ways. As opposed to just talking online, which is great, but getting
the physical presence. Seeing our home, seeing the city core of the
region.
That's why we've reached out to the local community and are now beginning to host an event called "Tweetea"
that also has had locations in various Detroit suburbs for awhile,
including Royal Oak and Grosse Pointe. There's been a downtown/midtown
Detroit community, but they've been looking for a place with stable
Wi-Fi and a regular home, so we've decided to open our doors every
Tuesday evening to them – and to you.
The discussions at Tweetea are forward-looking. They're about
community. They're about how technology can help grow and enhance that
community (after all, the community generally uses Twitter as it's
unifying tie). Social media tends to weave into the conversation quite a
bit.
