How it all Started

One day in October 2010, five guys were chatting on Twitter about the Gap logo fiasco when they soon realized that tagging on five names onto every tweet left precious little room for substantive conversation within Twitter's 140. So, they came up with a hashtag, thereby negating the need for all the @ mentions. That hashtag was #UsGuys.

Chase Adams, Tom Moradpour, Jason Mikula, Patrick Prothe, and Christian Gonzalez could not possibly have foreseen what #UsGuys would become. Now between 500-1000 members strong, #UsGuys is an intelligent, passionate community that has revolutionized the way many people use Twitter.

Focused loosely around the topics of marketing, social media, branding, leadership, technology, innovation, and creative pursuits, #UsGuys continues to evolve and expand globally. Now, much more than just a Twitter tribe, our community has expanded into Facebook and LinkedIn, has had multiple meetups around the world, has run structured, content-rich chats and even a 3-day virtual conference, complete with sponsors and prizes! Most of these things began only a few months after its inception!

Now with this online hub, #UsGuys holds much promise for doing even bigger and better things! Hold on to your seatbelts — our best times lie ahead!

The #UsGuys Chat

Every week we chat about a specific topic that the community settles on. It is run by Joseph Ruiz and Ken Rosen. The #UsGuys Chat is held every Monday at 3 P.M. EST under the #UsGuysChat Hashtag.
Information for the chat on March 6th - Resistence (Link)
