I saw at story at Asia One News about a popular meet up location in Bangkok for people who are crazy about Twitter. I’m sure this stuff is going on a lot of places, combining online social networking with offline. This one happens to be more local to me.
The story says that:
“Tweeple (Tweet people) gather at the shop to make friends, get updates and show off their musical talent – or find job openings.”
They say that over 100 people meet on Sundays at the Wawee coffee shop in Soi Aree. I have never been there. Must be a big place to handle that many people.
BTW, is that not the greatest Twitter button yet? You know how I love coffee.

Twitter and coffee?! What more could one ask for?!

Now, when the Tweeple meet, do they actually talk to one another or do they simply tweet one another? Or do they tweet about meeting without actually meeting?

Seems complicated.

What coffee’s are available in Thailand? Anything different or is it cheaper?

Most of the coffee you get is pretty bad. There are a few very good coffees that come from the north of Thailand but it seems like they all exported. I have read about them but could never find them. There is, of course, Starbucks and their coffee is much better than many of the local coffee shops.

Yeah, I have the same problem. Finding a place that makes coffee the way I like it. Even Starbucks. I like my coffee sweet and light. I go to Starbucks, and have to ask for more milk or cream, until they think I’m crazy. And I don’t like white sugar, I like that yellow sugar cane sugar, which is hard to find in a coffee shop. So I normally drink my coffee at home.

What? Starbucks?
I used to get the most marvelous iced coffee at the first Thai restaurant in Boston – strong coffee, cinnamon flavor, lots of sweetened condensed milk, ice – great. I always assumed it was more or less authentic. Not, eh?
