[...] The #meet140 apparently started out in Cheltenham too, or at least it was started by @Chris_Hall1, who is based in Cheltenham. More about the story behind it here [...]

Good post!

I love how - for those who are prepared to inhabit it without too much of an agenda - the digital world we're living in these days allows us to be so connected, and it's especially exciting when the virtual relationships become actual ones.

I'll be followin you on Twitter from now on.

I havent as yet had the opportunity to come along to one of #themeet140 's yet, but will certainly do so sometime soon…mid Dorset just isnt an easy place to escape!!!!

I do love the fact its real life merging with social media after all, thats what its all about ultimately.

From the responses already received, looks like youre onto a winner and @chrish10 and @markofrespect couldnt be more deserving and decent chaps

Great post and great night. Thanks to Mark and Chris for organising #themeet140 – love it!
The friendly faces, the chat, the atmosphere and the infectious enthusiasm of the people there made my journey from the shire worthwhile. As a 'newbie' I never felt out of place. So a big thanks for that!
Now, when's the next #themeet140 Glasgow!?!

Nice post Chris and I love #themeet140 – always a great atmosphere and no egos which means that everyone always feels included whether you're a newbie or not. This is a real success story for an online/offline combination, which is when social media is particularly powerful.

I also find it interesting from a work point of view – like minded people talking passionately about how social media is helping their clients. There is no chat about how successful any of us are, it's all about how we can be better, how we can provide the best possible service to our clients and how we all want to cut through the b.s. to maintain a good, clean reputation. Long live #themeet140
