Writers' Shebeen www.tweetworks.com/groups/view/WritersShebeenThere was a time a few months ago I dismissed Twitter as being a total waste of time, a place where sad geeks tweeted about anything and everything they did. Now I realise that people from all walks of life are connecting via Twitter in meaningful ways. I thought why not see if writers and poets and those with an interest in writing can connect on Twitter too. I thought I'd use www.tweetworks.com to do this, which has been described as a place where Twitter discussions are made easy. Twitter is so quick and easy to use and isn't one of the time wasting social networking sites and the group on www.tweetworks.com blends in easily with Twitter. With the creation of the group Writers' Shebeen [ www.tweetworks.com/groups/view/WritersShebeen] it means there's a place where writers on Twitter can connect and they don't waste valuable writing time when they're on it. Also, there’s so many talented writers and poets in Northern Ireland that don't have the time or desire to join established creative writing groups and could join or just read tweets @ Writers' Shebeen and hopefully read a tweet that might encourage or inspire them to write. There’s also so many books being published by Northern Irish authors and both the authors and publishers know that the Internet is a very important marketing tool; this group again can be one of the tools that's used to help sell books. I've seen tweets by authors read by thousands of people retweeted and the message they've sent reaches millions of people in a few minutes. Writers' Shebeen has just started with a few people and I'm hoping it will develop and grow. I’m hoping because of it connections will be made in real life between writers, maybe these connections could result in workshops, poetry slams, readings and book launches being arranged or people just meeting over a coffee or a pint for a chat about writing.
