Twiistup 4: Releasing The Goods
The cat is out of the bag. Mike Macadaan founder of Twiistup has released the showoffs for the upcoming Twiistup 4 event on July 17, 2008. For those of you that do not know what Twiitup is here is the description:
“Twiistup connects people from technology, media and entertainment. Our events feature several startups chosen to ‘showoff’ their products & services to influential bloggers, fellow tech-heads, investors, the media and those interested in learning about what’s hot in socal tech. An alternative to traditional networking events, Twiistup mixes it up with tunes, video, bites, beverages, swag and the unexpected.”
Twiistup 4 has awesome special treats for everyone and here is a little rundown of what you might find; you are going to be allowed to walk on water, and for old school gamers out there, there is going to be an classic arcade setup with all the fixin’s such as Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong. Also, if that isn’t enough for you, you will get the chance to challenge Mr. King of Kong himself Steve Wiebe for the high score. You can come checkout the full TechZulu exclusive T4 updates from Mike Macadaan earlier this year here.
