So, what is BMPR? It’s the Business, Media & Public Relations Tweetup group in San Antonio. They only started this past spring, but seems to be growing rapidly.

What happens at a Tweetup? It’s different. Aren’t many business cards passed. AND, it’s one of those rare meetings where playing with your cell phone is allowed – even encouraged. Everyone uses the hashtag #BMPR in Twitter. Even people that can’t make it can follow along with what’s happening.

They have several speakers and the topics are about social media – how a particular business uses Social Media. You can read about the speakers on The BMPR web site. The coolest part was that Sea World brought an owl and a wallaby to the meeting. They were big hits and probably never want to see phone cameras again. We’re still working out how it is that owls and wallabies are at Sea World. Are they aquatic?

If your in business in San Antonio and are using (or interested in using ) Social Media, then you should consider a BMPR Tweetup. I’ll post the invite for the next one!
