Last Thursday night was “I Heard a Tweet: a ChattUp at the Hunter,” our third in a series of Chattanooga Twitter meetups. While Chattarati helped organize the event, it was graciously sponsored by Juncture and the Chattanooga Technology Council and hosted by the Hunter Museum. It was great to once again put faces with the names I see online, especially in a venue like the Hunter.
One of the great people I met for the first time was Olympic gold medalist Joe Jacobi. Joe and I have been chatting online for some time about hyperlocal new media, and we had a great conversation at ChattUp. Towards the end of the night, we found a relatively quiet spot and he conducted a video interview with me about Chattarati and how new and social media could impact local politics:
Joe is a great advocate for new media, and I appreciate his support of Chattarati.
