One Woman’s Quest for the Perfect Twitter T-shirt

[tweetmeme source=”pagetx”]Knowing full well that my husband of nearly 12 years would not buy me a Twitter @username t-shirt for Christmas, I began my quest for the perfect one myself.  He would say it was silly, or worse <gasp!> geeky.  But you and I know that owning the perfect Twitter @username t-shirt is a mark of excellence in the social media scene.  A badge of honor.  But I digress.

Case in point: I saw Sheila Scarborough wearing one.  Y’all know Sheila’s cool, and only geeky in the most wonderful of ways.  In fact, I blame Sheila for my insatiable need to have a Twitter @username shirt of my very own.  I’ve secretly coveted hers since she wore it at #SoMeT.  Damn that Sheila!

My quest began this afternoon.  I perused the websites where people can make custom shirts like Zazzle, AtMe Shirt, TwitGear, and Threadless.  Oh sure, there were dozens of Twitter t-shirts.  All very cute.  But none of them matched the mental image of my perfect shirt.

#SoMeT Wrap Up

[tweetmeme source=”pagetx”]I’m back home from one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended.  I’ve even had a few days to digest all the great information, but honestly, my head is still swimming.  There was just so much to learn.  Some of the information served as a refresher, or even a kick in the pants to get started on things I should already be doing.

Other presentations shared information that was new to me, and my mental wheels are seriously turning.  In addition to all the great content, probably what excited me the most was the opportunity to meet people IRL that I had only known online previously.  What a fantastic group of smart and creative people!

So what conference had such an impact on me?  The Social Media Tourism Symposium – or #SoMeT – held in Loudoun, VA from November 17-19, 2010.  Kudos to Dave Serino of Gammet Interactive for putting together the conference of the year – regardless of the industry you’re in.
