Some are calling actual meetings of twitter people a “tweet-up”. It is a chance to meet people from twitter and network in person. There are many reasons for such local contacts besides a social one. It can create a local area business network of contacts that would be missed except for the uniqueness of twitter.
One way to find local area twitter users is with TwitterLocal:
“…Just enter a city, state, postal code, choose the range of miles you want to include, and hit the button…”

With services such as TwitterLocal, the large internet community can become very focused.
