Robert Scoble Wikipedia describes Scoble as “an American blogger, technical evangelist, and author.” I think I would add photographer and social media guru to that, but that’s just me.

Nate Heinrich posted this photo and tweeted:

“@scobleizer wearing @tweetupbadges so he had to take a call, hope he was calling @richdrake to order!”

Me too Nate, me too.

Local entrepreneur Daniel Shipton CEO of BitMethod and operations director at Impromptu Studio and all around Juggernaut and some other guy.

Seriously though Dan has been a great inspiration and friend to me the last couple of years.

The other guy is of course is US Senator from Iowa Chuck Grassley.

Twelve Steps for the Twoubled Tweep in Your Life

This post from @Kathy_L’s blog caught my attention and I had to share it with the Tweetup Badges crowd.

1. Admit you have a Twitter problem (a twoblem?).
2. Tweet your tweeps so they know you know you have a twoblem.
3. Read the sympathetic and supportive tweets that fly across in reference to your twoblem.
4. Arrange a tweetup for live discussion of your collective twoblem.
5. Spend entire tweetup tweeting about tweetup to tweeps who cannot attend.
6. Tweet that your twoblem has not improved, but you are happy to report you now have 675 followers.
7. Boldly, turn off your phone so you can’t receive tweets.
8. Get worried that you are missing important tweets from your tweeps.
9. Try to explain the twoblem to a non-tweep (a twerp?).
10. Tweet that the twerp doesn’t understand you, your tweeps or your twoblem.
11. Feel slightly superior for being on the cutting edge of modern communication.
12. Forget about it. An addiction to Twitter is so not a twoblem.

By the way, Kathy_L is definitely a twoubled tweep in our book. At least she has her Tweetup Badge to keep her smiling.
