Many people see Twitter and other social media services as time wasters, still unsure of their benefit in the real world. But as Donato, Vankilter and myself can all testify, it works in the real world.
I met Andy, from Vankilter, a little while ago at the Solihull Business Breakfast, but as so often happens never got round to doing anything about seeing him to get the Kilt I wanted.
The other day, Donato, a business friend and avid Twitter user was at his shop and posted a picture of the kilts there. This prompted me to answer saying “I keep meaning to get a kilt”, a few messages later and Andy phoned me, resulting in my visit to his shop and a kilt on order (Donato has also posted about this)
So next time someone asks, “why are you wasting your time on Twitter”, answer “Because you never know just who might be interested”.
