First Tweetup in TV History was held on Wednesday, January 21, 2008 when Deborah Micek (Aka: Coach Deb) was interviewed by Andy Bumatai on his TV Show about Twitter and Social Media with two other guests, Arleen Anderson and Lincoln Jacobe.
The book Andy Bumatai referenced on the show was Twitter Revolution found directly on Amazon.

Part 2 from TV Show -
Where Guests are introduced & the discussion begins!
Part 3 from TV Show -
Where @AlohaArleen & @CoachDeb begin to debate about what Seduction really is (and is NOT):
Part 4 from TV Show -
When guests gave business owners tips on how they can use Twitter for business & marketing:
It got a little heated on the Andy Bumatai set when @AlohaArleen said she begged to differ with @CoachDeb and stated, “I don’t want to seduce my audience.”
Here’s a “behind the scene shot” of the studio.
NOTE: Deborah Micek couldn’t bring the Twitter Revolution book on the set b/c of the green screen the TV show was filmed in front of. Since the cover of the book was green it woulda looked funky with the background pouring through!
You’ll find more behind the scenes shots to see how the production was put together, and some of the LIVE audience members there for the LIVE Tweetup on Deborah Micek’s Facebook profile.
But back to the debate… Who doesn’t want to charm and seduce their audience? Now it’s your turn to get in on the debate. What have you learned from this blog about Tribal Seduction? And what would you say to someone who doesn’t get it yet?
Perhaps you’re a student from the Tribal Seduction Course, and you know even more about what Seduction really is and is not. Share your thoughts about seducing your audience (as opposed to the typical old-school marketing slam and spam strategies used) in the comment section below.
How would you describe Tribal Seduction in business to someone who is unfamiliar with this new form of marketing in the 21st Century?

Great info! . . .Nice talking point was the instant use and availability of Twitter to send info to your “Followers” with the FSBO example.
As social media grows, it will interesting to see what new avenues open up.

That was great! Thank you for posting that.
It really seems to come down to the individual’s concept of seduction. I would think those who are regulars to this blog and/or your training know exactly what you are talking about! 
Keep up the great work!
Coach Deb killed it, and I agree, seduction IS transparency, I’m shocked that arleen didn’t realize this.
Our followers WANT to learn from us and we would be doing a disservice if we didn’t let them know when we post kick ass content for them to enjoy and learn from on our blog.
Also, it almost sounds as if it’s the guilty feeling arleen speaks of not telling peeps of her biz.
It’s like those few peeps who get upset when we announce our info products – noone should be feeling bad about tweeting about GREAT info products.
If you stand behind what you do and know it rocks, then let the world know and be cool about it!
Thanks JP & Deb!

Great job Deb! I get it even if Arleen didn’t. Charm, seduce and yes share when you have something great. Especially if what you are offering helps others. Thanks for posting.
Hi Coach Deb,
Thanks so much for sharing the show!
The Tribal Seduction training is right on. You would not believe how many times the Tweets I receive are sending followers to a Lead Capture Page, and I just shut it down. I like Twitter to meet people and learn what’s happening, but I do not care for all of the sales jobs that some people are doing, and I do not follow them.
Keep getting the word out…it’s a huge education process!

Helloooo. Am I the only one who noticed the subtle, feminine back hand of @AlohaArleen and her “I beg to differ. My approach is one of transparency.” AS IF it were the opposite of what Deb had just said. She was sooo uncomfortable with the word seduction, I wanted to laugh. It was said with the air of superiority.
Can we talk about transparency? Her Twitter picture looks NOTHING like her! (at least not for the last 15 years). She says she doesn’t use Twitter for business and yet she earlier said that she got onto Twitter to help a client and figured she should learn about it. Sounds like the “fake it till you make it” plan more than transparency.
Her comments were full of the general “find what’s right for you” crap that even Andy tried to pin her down for specifics and finally gave up. @CoachDeb gave specific ways to use Twitter and remembered to give definitions of terms for people not familiar with the lingo.
Then there are the number of followers she has just since November – some 25,000 and now I look and she’s up to 31,000 while Deb is up by 700. How does one accomplish that? It appears that she follows 2000 more than her number which reeks of a bot doing the following for her, and yet she claims “It’s not my business…It’s social”. This doesn’t ring as truth to me when you follow 34,000 people.
I’ll take the 700 followers of @CoachDeb over the 6,000 of @AlohaArleen any day. She said “It’s really putting the personal and the humanness back into the internet”, but tell me how she gets 6000 followers in two weeks and can still call it “personal” and not about spamming. She’s falling on semantics with the “I don’t do what I call blurting”, and then admits that Twitter leads to business.
AND, to me, personal is great, but business is important for all of us. I would never have bothered to call her on her crap if she weren’t so condescending in her disdain for business on Twitter while obviously exploiting the business aspect. I think she doth protest too much.
Where does the disdain come from for using Twitter for business? I see that she replies constantly in her twitter stream. That is, indeed, very personal of her, but I guess I’m missing something.
Enlighten me, if I’m wrong. And @CoachDeb, you came with poise, professionalism and content as usual.
