A Very Real Twitter Network in Michigan

Twixperiment part II: Michigan Twitter Network launched

The other day I mentioned that the MLive Twitter account will try to follow all the Twitterers in Michigan. I know I didn’t catch every Michigan Tweeter, but I did find more than 1,300 people to follow. That was phase I of the MLive twixperiment.

Now for phase II

Some of the Michigan twitterers were so excited to have MLive follow them, they sent us direct messages and “@”’s to thank us for following. We have yet to receive any negative feedback.

So creating a page for the network was the logical step. Check out the Michigan Twitter Network on MLive.
