Should your Restaurant have Twitter?

Some people like ThriftyHipster, some like Facebook, some like Twitter, some like reddit, some like dig, some like all the above or any combination of them.
Twitter is a silly little application. You can only send 140 character updates, but the response these get is amazing.  Think of it more like a text message to friends, but one they’ll only see when they log in to twitter (which for some people is all day, for others is never).

Get your Twitter Handle

You might ask, is it worth it?  The answer varies by what your restaurant provides, but that does not change the fact that you definitely should at least register for a handle.

  1. Only 1 handle is allowed per email
  2. Similar to a domain name, only 1 handle is given out – So even if you don’t plan on using twitter, you’ll want to claim your name before someone else does!
Choose a Handle: Best is to make it your domain name, Facebook name, but keep it short too!
For Example: If your domain is “elisfoodandcocktails.com” you’d probably want your Twitter handle to be @eliscocktails.
However, if your domain name is short, like britspub.com, you’ll definitely want @BritsPub.
