Great Social Peeps I Met Tweeting 100K Tweets
Along the way of tweeting 100K tweets I met some very awesome social peeps. They are the peeps that keep me tweeting day after day. I was surprised to see how close I was to tweeting 100K and when I hit that big number I realized it was the great social peeps I met along the way that inspired me.
The First Social Peeps I Met on Twitter
Mayura was one of the first peeps I connected with via blogging. Mayura is from Sri Lanka and when I was up in the wee hours of the am or night I'd catch up with Mayura. He is the smartest tech person I know and turn to when I have any issues. I've learned so much from him through the years. You can learn from him too by following him today. Mayura also has great taste in music.
- Brenda and I met like Mayura via blogging and became great friends. Brenda is the type of friend if she doesn't see me on Twitter will be looking for me. She knows I must be really sick or in an accident if I'm not tweeting 
Brenda has a lot of interesting tweets and you'll know exactly how she feels about an issue. You'll enjoy following her with her varied topics including her love of dogs. I bet many of my 100K tweets were with Brenda.
Nancy Cawley Jean - Nancy was the local person I met on Twitter. She introduced me to 4 other local gals who now get together for lunch every few months. We connect during an earthquake in Providence years ago. Anytime something is happening locally these are the gals I turn to. If you are a Rhode Islander, Red Sox fan or dog lover follow Nancy today!
Social Peeps That Will Always Engage
- I met Corina years ago from blogging. She has been a great supporter to me on Twitter. Thank you Corina! She coined the term " socialverse ". She tweets about many topics and is always engaging on the Twitter network. She also is a dog lover and fun to follow.
- John is a local guy - just a state over from RI and is always engaging on Twitter. He taught me about Follow Friday and connecting with others using the #FF hashtag. I consider a local and a big deal in Social Media as he has a rocking blog and many Twitter followers.
- Ryan is always engaging from all over the world. This is the most creative tweet I received in the 100K tweets to date from Ryan. You'll love following Ryan for all kinds of tweets as he is Blogging from Paradise, on an island and traveling the world with his wife Kelly. He writes amazing eBooks and they are top sellers on Amazon. He really is full of energy!

Mitch Mitchell - Mitch is always engaging on Twitter but beware - he is not a morning person. I met Mitch via blogging and he loves to chat on Twitter on many a topic. You can follow him for great leadership tips and more. He is a New Yorker and loves quotes. He surely has helped me along to the 100K tweets via our conversations. (Mitch is the only peep to label his photo via his name so far...)
Adrian Jo
ck - Another blogger I met via blogging away here. Adrian is a character. He will let you know if you make a mistake so be sure to have thick skin when interacting with him. But that's what I like, someone who will tell you when you mess up. I've learned a lot from Adrian and so can you if you follow him today. He has great tips on solo ads and social media to mention a few.
Curatti - Jan Jorden is great at interacting on the Twitter network and always thanks you for sharing her posts. She is always so pleasant and tweets about content marketing, social media and people. Jan is from New York and if you follow her today you'll be glad you did and you will surely learn from her too.
Jens Berget - I met Jens fairly early during my 100K tweets. He is from Norway and is also a blogger. His topics are similar to mine and he is an avid health nut and started a Vegetarian Festival in Norway. He is a pretty cool guy to follow and he will always engage on the Twitter network. He is peep I must have tweeted with often to hit the 100K tweets. Thanks Jens!
Ile
ane Smith - Ileane was one of my first blogging mentors. I sure learned a lot from her in the early days and still today. She is always there on Twitter to respond to any questions. She is well versed in YouTube and Podcasts so if you want to learn more about them do follow Ms. Ileane today!
-Gina finds humor in parenting and I love engaging with her on Twitter. She is really funny and blogs about many things in her humorous way. If you want to laugh follow Gina on Twitter. Gina has several children. I was shocked to learn just how many and all that she does one day.
Great Brand Peeps
Some brands know how to respond fast to your questions and others still don't get it. I'd like to share those that do GET Twitter and the importance of responding quickly on this network.
Hostgator - This is another company that responds on Twitter much quicker than via telephone. I've only had a few issues over the years with them as my hosting company and their 24/7 tech service is just awesome. If I cannot reach some via phone or chat I get info from them via Twitter. They either announce a problem or will respond quickly to any questions I may have tweeted them.
More Great Peeps - Locally in RI That Led to 100K Tweets
Michelle Quillin - I met Michelle via Nancy Cawley Jean and she is among my Twitter Friends that I get together with regularly. She is the sweetest person you'll meet on Twitter. She is a Christian who loves pets and youth as she is a youth minister. She tweets about helping youth and wonderful quotes. Follow her today.
Christina Salgi- Christina is another one of my Twitter friends that we get together with. She founded the Salgi Foundation for Esophageal Cancer Research. She is an amazing young woman to follow. She tweets about health issues, quotes and more. She also is a dog lover.
John McCarthy - I'm not sure how I came upon John on Twitter but I believe he responded to a tweet I posted about Rhode Island. I added him to my local group and gave him shout outs on Fridays. When I would skip a Friday he would give me a great shout out. Thanks John for being part of my 100K tweets.
It would be helpful if I could drink my coffee while I was driving but I can't because I'll hit a pothole and get a 3rd degree burn - RI Problems (@RIprobz) October 21, 2015
Claudia Zompa - I have the pleasure of meeting Claudia when she first arrived in RI from Chicago. She reached to me via Twitter and we met for coffee. She is a wonderful person with many interests and lots of energy. She is a Development Coordinator for PPAC here in Rhode Island.
The Queen - This person I met at a Tweet Seats event several years ago here in Rhode Island at PPAC. The tweets are about their kids and funny things that happen. The queen is a social media strategist and a writer. Follow along for some fun and laughs from The Queen on Twitter.
Social Media Mavens That Tweet Back
You know how some people get so big they think they don't need to respond back anymore? Well these folks DON'T. They engage with everyone and don't consider themselves better than anyone else. Just because they have over 100K followers doesn't mean they don't respond.
The Very First Tweet of 100K Tweets
Every wonder what your first tweet ever was? Mine was pretty lame.

Go to Discover First Tweet here to see yours. It really is amazing to think how much has changed on Twitter since 2009 and how much has not changed over the 100K tweets.
