Dan and I have lived in DeMo for 2 1/2 yrs now and until we joined twitter we really didn't have any other friends/contacts that lived near us any longer. We still mostly spent time with college friends(who now live all over the country) and family. Since we joined twitter, we really feel like we are a part of the local community and we LOVE it! Not to mention that if we didn't have the twitter community's support we would have never been able to launch Impromptu Studio and keep it going. Thanks for the kind words!! Fantastic post!

I would also add that the upcoming Central Iowa Shelter dinner sponsored by so many in the dmtweetup is very special. A number of people have contributed time and money. What a great effort!

After graduation and a few job offers, I ended up in the Des Moines area not knowing a single soul. From that very first tweetup in January to the seemingly weekly events going on now, I continue to be introduced to new, interesting people in Des Moines that are both enthusiastic about what they do and passionate about the city they live in. It's because of Twitter that I've been able to expand my network so effectively and find the type of people I want to associated with. Also, I've got to echo Claire's comments about the generosity of this community and their willingness to help others succeed. A lot of that was already present, but Twitter was the vehicle to help amplify it. I was transplanted into the area from my hometown of Muscatine so I could attend Iowa State.
