Last week while Whuffaoke was in town, I had the opportunity to talk with Mark Simonds, or @Route140...a.k.a the man behind the Twitter Road Trip adventure.

Mark is traveling nation-wide road trip to interview people and companies using Twitter and have interesting stories to tell.  The idea for his project started as an excuse to take a road trip.  After realizing it would be great to meet the people he followed on Twitter, he then decided that this could be an opportunity to really dive into the whole social media concepts.

Twitter Road Trip is entirely self-funded and Simonds is also working with sponsors and donors to keep the travels going..

Take a glance and listen to our interview with Mark and feel free to connect with the Twitter Road Trip on Twitter at @Route140!.
