This past Thursday tweeps from all corners of Prince William County converged on Old Town Manassas at the La Chapelle Restaurant. Donning exclusive tweet-up nametags, the crowd ranged from news reporters to tech geeks. After drinks, connecting and having some great conversations, the first official Prince William County tweet-up was a success.

Special thanks to Abe Erickson (@AbeErickson) with Ugly Chair Productions for the amazing highlights video. Check it out:

Some live tweet-up photos from the event:

As I promised in my last post, I deliver to you a blog success. The extent of this post really goes beyond blogging. It encompasses any sort of content you publish online whether it’s an article, a web page, an e-book and so on.

However, for most of us, getting hordes of people into the door is no easy task. Usually, it takes months of maintaining a steady flow of useful content, working connections and responding to reader comments. It’s hard work but it pays off.

But seriously, I want traffic now. I want people reading this post right now.

The biggest complaint about LinkedIn I hear is that people don’t know how to use it. Facebook makes sense. MySpace makes sense. But for some reason there’s a disconnect when it comes to LinkedIn.

For a while, too, I couldn’t see that much value in LinkedIn. The interface was a bit clunky and there didn’t seem to be much you could do with your network.

However, after using LinkedIn aggressively these past months, I know it’s a valuable tool that anyone in business should be using. So here I present my five reasons why you should be on LinkedIn.

Last month, Cavendo held a Business After Hours event with the Prince William County – Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce. The event was awesome to say the least. Great food, great door prizes, and best of all, great attendees.
