I had a wonderful time with my family in Mountain Village and Telluride, CO. Having spent most of the summer in the hot and dirty New York City, getting out to Telluride was a real treat. The mountains, streams, waterfalls and clean air was a great escape from my normal digital, city life.
The coolest part was how Twitter made my stay an unexpected social networking experience. Once I arrived in Telluride I received an @ reply from two of my Tweeps @jberkowitz (Jim) and @telluridenow (Dennis and Nicole) welcoming me to their city. Because I was connected with them already via Twitter, I was able to meetup with them, get a real tour of the city, and hang with the locals. Without Twitter, this would have never happened. This proves that some of the relationships you nurture through Twitter, do really result in exiting real life encounters and experiences.
