Lancaster Twitter Gang Gets Together - Where Were You?

Jeff Geoghan MBA - Lancaster PA Real Estate Expert: Real Estate Agent in Lancaster, PA

This morning we had another (#7, to be exact) Lancaster "Tweetup", this round at Square One Coffee on Duke Street in Lancaster City.

As always, the discussion was awesome and everyone enjoyed reconnecting and make new friends. I for one was particularly happy to meet Barbara Searles, a longtime Twitter connection whom I had not had the pleasure of meeting in person yet! She was awesome.
