“Wealth” is not just financial. I value the friends and acquaintances who share a wealth of knowledge through networking. You may have heard of social media and Twitter. Twitter is known as micro blogging. Well, Edmonton Tweetup brought members of this online community together for the second time, on August 14, 2008, at The Billiard Club for a social evening.

I had the pleasure of meeting Julie Duczynski, a recent graduate of the University of Alberta with an Art and Design degree. She specializes in painting but also does design,  illustration, gallery exhibitions, and more. We talked about social media, networking, and her passion for the arts. Julie has recognized the benefits of networking for marketing and to open new interests in the arts. Julie’s contact is cry.ofthe.giraffe[at]gmail.com.

Yes, someone will be questioning the relevance of this type of blog entry to my primary business. Well, my business is built based on developing relationships and trust, and my site and blog allow you to get to know me a little better. I am pleased to have learned more about other Twitter users at this enjoyable social and look forward to the next one.
