I love doing a tweet-up. For me, tweet-up can bring you trust. You meet people, you getting know them personally, and by that you build trust with each other. The first tweet-up that I attend was back in July with the members of J-Tug. and now seven months later, I have created a personal friendship with most of them.

That’s the thing with offline meet-up, you get to know one another as they were. Not just by their avatar or their post. Now everybody is talking about social media, social web, and social networking. Some would show up and say that they are a social media expert or whatever. They tend to kept occupied on how to keep engaging with your online friends, follower, buddies.

But they probably forgot that the true meaning to this social media tools is to build trust with one another. Yet. in my opinion a true social face-to-face interaction with a real world human being can build trust more effectively than say building up a conversation online.

So here’s my suggestion especially for you that use Twitter and want to “engage” your follower more closely: gather up a twitter user-group meet-up in your town. do some offline activities, go see a movie or make game nights perhaps, you name it,  whatever things that can make you engage with your twitter friends.
