We have had an overwhelming response to our Tweet & Shout Blog Contest with almost 200 votes cast and well over 2000 unique views, the contest was a huge success.  Our esteemed group of bloggers that participated in the contest was from all across the United States and across different industries.  We, here at OKC Tweetups have come to conclusion that we are a very eclectic group.

The winner with 59 votes or comments for her blog post, “The Social Media Mullet” is Jessica Miller-Merrell of Xceptional HR.  Jessica’s secret to her success (in addition to a great blog post) was her use of Facebook, Twitter, and an email campaign asking folks to leave a comment and show their support.  Jessica’s website, Blogging4Jobs.com is geared towards human resource professionals and job seekers.  Jessica won an amazing, HD Flip Camera provided by Cisco and our friend Brad Stone (@bestone).

A special thanks to everyone who submitted a post, left a comment, or read the blogs!  And another special thanks to the more than 250 people who attended the OKC Tweetup held on September 10th at Nonna’s Purple Bar in Bricktown.  The event was AMAZING!  There was great conversation, Rumble the Bison in attendance, free valet by Xceptional HR, a lot of rocking out with Beatles Rock Band courtesy of Evolve Research, carictures by Hector Lopez, Blingo Starr by Samuel Gordon’s jewelers, and a whole lotta fun.  Our tweetup raised $500 for White Fields, our event’s designated charity.
