Twitter Feature Request

Once twitter gets my main feature request complete, stability, I have a really cool idea for the site. I would really like a way to make distribution groups. There are several times I wished I could type 'd distributiongroupname' and type my tweet and have it DM a specific group of friends. It would be much easier than DM'ing multiple people one after another.

Upon doing some research on the topic I know I'm not alone. So @ev and others, once all the code has been ported and the site doesn't crash under the weight of people going nuts over the latest apple rumor or possible yahoo buyout deal can we have distribution groups please?

Third Thirsty Thursday for Houston

It has been proposed that Thursday June 19th be our first Third Thirsty Thursday to be held at the Corkscrew around 7:00 p.m.

Does that work for everyone? If we have a decent response I thought about e-mailing Gary so he can get the word out on the show.

@bbrooks with your responses or post here.

Book signing and wine tasting with Gary

Last night I had the honor of meeting up with Gary Vaynerchuk, the host of Wine Library TV at the Borders on Market St. in the Woodlands, TX. Other Vanyaics from around the Houston area gathered as Gary signed books. After a very short time we had all exchanged twitter info and followed each other respectively. As the book signing wound down Gary invited us to drink some wine with him.

We all walked over to Cru. Gary very generously provided us all with several bottles of wine to enjoy. Also, big thanks to @gdrukman for providing the food.

Gary was was really pushing us to start a Third Thirsty Thursday. I'm up for it as are a couple of friends of mine. Anyone willing to host the first one? Send replies to @bbrooks on twitter or post in the WLTV thread I started.

Look forward to seeing more of ya'll tomorrow at The Corkscrew.

Update: Haykalr pointed out that it would be good to try and have TTT at a wine bar or BYOB wine place. Think of ideas and we can discuss tomorrow.
