Belly dancers, Jedi knights and car enthusiasts are some of the groups of people who have used Twitter to meet at a Tweetup, an event where people from Twitter gather in person.LSU football fans will have their chance to Tweetup at the National L Club Spring Football Game on Saturday on the South Lawn of Tiger Stadium with the goal of setting a world record.Craig Pintens, assistant athletic director of marketing, said the Tweetup is open to anyone going to the spring game.Pintens said the only stipulation is the person must hear about it through the LSUsports Twitter account. Pintens said LSU can’t use Facebook or a press release to promote the event. Pintens said the sign-in will begin between 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. before the game.”They don’t technically have to have a Twitter account,” Pintens said. “They will just have to sign in.”Video cameras will film the signatures so the Tweetup can be approved by the Guinness Book of World Records.”Guinness requires that we videotape the whole thing,” Pintens said. “We have to have two witnesses and make it notorized.”Ford Motor Co. currently holds the title for world’s largest Tweetup. It hosted a Tweetup event for 1,149 people at Ford’s Fiesta Movement Awards Celebration on Dec. 1, 2009.The LSU Tweetup Web site only shows 52 confirmed guests for the event, but Pintens said he’s confident they will reach the 1,150 mark.”We’re serious about breaking the record,” Pintens said. “The word will eventually spread.”Melissa Hart, Student Government director of athletics, is helping the sports department get the word out.”I’m trying to help it by word of mouth,” Hart said. “It’s a great goal they are trying to achieve. I hope they get it.” Pintens said the idea to host a Tweetup came as a way to draw more attention to the spring game.”The spring game is important to us, especially with the game being on ESPN2,” Pintens said. “We wanted to uncover every possible stone for people to come out to it.”Pintens said another motivation was to encourage awareness of LSU’s various social media platforms.”We use it to keep a pulse on our fans,” Pintens said. “The people that respond to our tweets — we treat that like anything else.”–Contact Michael Lambert at [email protected]
