In Prince William County? On Twitter? Let us know!
After much debate here at Cavendo we decided this would be the easiest way to organize a simple list of local Twitter users. We finally settled on a simple post here on our blog and everyone can leave a comment with their information.
If you live, work, or play in these areas we want to know who you are:
- Manassas/Manassas Park
- Bristow/Gainesville/Haymarket
- Woodbridge/Dale City/Triangle
- Prince William County (if we missed you above) and surrounding areas
This is a simple public list for everyone’s benefit.
How could this help? Network with local Twitter users. Organize local tweet-ups. Meet cool people.
It’s simple. Just list your name, your Twitter username, and a short bio about yourself. I’ll get it started:
I’m Jonathan Arehart, President & CEO of Cavendo. I’m on twitter as @jarehart. I produce things on the Internet.
Comments are moderated, so add yourself and we’ll get it approved as soon as possible. Thanks!
UPDATE: Prince William County’s first-ever Tweet-up is now official! We are hosting the first Prince William region tweetup on Thursday, August 27, 2009 from 5:00-7:00pm at La Chapelle Restaurant in Old Town Manassas.

Hi there! We are on Twitter! @pwspca
he Prince William SPCA was established to benefit the animals of the greater Prince William County, Virginia area. This all-volunteer organization is dedicated to protecting domestic animals from cruelty, neglect, and abandonment, and stopping the unnecessary overpopulation of companion animals.
Our mission is accomplished through programs designed to 1.) reduce the number of dogs and cats being born, 2.) facilitate animal adoptions, and 3.) enrich the human-animal bond.
We encourage partnerships with the veterinary industry, the local business community, county government officials and other nonprofits that share in our mission. In working with these groups, we hope to make the greater Prince William region a better place for precious companion animals.

Thanks Jonathan – love this! Find me on Twitter @peggykimmey
I’m with XANGO – Health & Wellness supplements. Our latest addition to the family helps us deal with stress and “feel great again!” Are you ready to feel less agitated, have more patience, sleep better? An interesting side-effect is the loss of belly fat…
I tweet about our products, our business, energy healing, affirmations, and re-tweet cool things shared by the folks I’m following – just call me an eclectic tweeter.
I’m Rachel, a local mom among other things. I am going to try to make it over to the Tweet Up, but I can also be followed on Twitter as @Realityblah.
Thanks Jonathan!

Hello, I wanted to thank Jonathan Areheart for being the driving force behind organizing Prince William County’s very first Tweet up. We have seen how successful these types of events can be in other cities and now it is time for Manassas and Prince William to get in on the fun. As for me, I write for the News & Messenger – Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park’s only local daily newspaper. I cover breaking news, transportation, police, fire and rescue. And working at a small to mid-sized daily newspaper, I can confidently add that I cover just about anything else that comes along. Can’t wait to meet you at the Tweet up!

What a great idea! I manage the communications at the PW Regional Chamber of Commerce, tweeting as @pwchamber. Social media gives us endless possibilities for connecting as a community– it certainly makes the span between the “east” & “west” sides of PW seem much smaller.
