Join us July 5th, in London, for a tweetup

Juju TweetupFor my friends in the UK, if you life or work in London you might like to join the 12 Traveling Geeks (includes me) who will be at a tweet-up at Juju in London on Sunday evening July 5th (2009).

A tweetup (like “meetup”) is a face-to-face meeting of people who previously only knew each other through Twitter. For some of the well-known geeks, like Robert Scoble, who has over 95,000 followers on Twitter, this could be a big thing – Robert might be able to fill the room just with his own followers who happen to be in London that night.

Where I stand right now, at 165 followers, maybe a couple of you will know someone who’d like to meet the geeks – reserve a place in advance online.

Mark your calendar and DM @SusanBratton if you’d like to be notified of the time and location for this TweetUp (likely at 5 pm on 5 July 2009).

Here are two great shots of some of our traveling geeks including JD Lasica, Jeff Saperstein, Robert Scoble, Jim “Sky” Schuyler and myself, Susan Bratton.

In San Francisco the other day we were planning our day and night events, trying to figure out how we can meet as many companies, entrepreneurs and UK companies in the social media, open source, consumer technology and media world as possible in our all too short trip.
