Savannah Tweetup celebrated their first anniversary on Friday night. They’ve been organizing events for Savannah’s social media savvy residents since last August, and look forward to many more years to come.

Get geeky with us at our July meet up. Bring your burning social media questions, share your know-how or just enjoy a cocktail with us.

The Savannah area was teeming with geeks last weekend, but there’s a good chance that if you weren’t on Twitter, you didn’t even know! Here’s some of our favorite tweets from Geekend 2010.

The team that is tasked with doing for the agency on the Internet what Sacajawea did for Louis and Clark in the Northwest Territory. The job is part writer, part explorer, part trend spotter and part strategist. Oh yeah, and we get paid to Facebook and Twitter!
