Last evening Josiah and I went to a joint chamber networking event at the Wequassett Resort in Chatham.  The four chambers that participated were: Eastham, Orleans, Chatham and Harwich.  The event was a big hit and was sold out right away.  They had a very nice buffet of food setup as well as people bringing around trays of delicious treats.  They even served the beer in a large beer glass.  I had a great time chatting with other business owners and I met some new people from other chambers.  The views from the room we were in were outstanding, looking out over the water and into the cove.  Many of the people I spoke with have boats and said that they come into the cove and dock at the Wequassett and grab a bite to eat in the restaurant quite often.  I definitely plan on going back to the Wequassett next Summer with my kids as they have a great outdoor kid area with pools and toys and more.

Twitter has hit the big time (thanks to CNN, Oprah and Ashton Kutcher), and more and more Cape Cod business owners and residents are creating accounts and taking advantage of this new social networking tool.  As you dive into Twitter you start to amass a list of friends, or people who you are following.  After a while the chatter gets somewhat loud, and you’ll find that some friends are no longer posting, or aren’t following you (reciprocating).

In comes the power of web applications and the Twitter API which allows Internet application developers to create tools to help you manage your Twitter friend list.  I just posted a round-up of 6 of these tools on my personal blog, check out the post; 6 Tools to Keep your Twitter List Tidy to begin your pruning.
