TwitterOnTheRun is an automated self-sustaining TWITTER program that follows Tweeters who are interested in what you are interested in on TWITTER. You tell the program which Tweeters are already talking about what you are about, and it follows for you just like the specified Tweeter follows. When you follow Tweeters who have common interests with you on TWITTER, they are highly likely to follow you back. Then you can get your message out to all of them with one simple tweet or more tweets, if you choose!

[...] You can imagine my frustration when I added comments earlier today on blog posts by Peter Kim on Working Backwards to the Future and Jim Benson on Twitter Makes Me Hungry. [...]

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Ari – Many of them do use yelp – they will use it in a few ways.

1. They will write a review on yelp and broadcast it on Twitter.
2. When they invite people to a tweetup, they will post the Yelp page to…
a. prove that the restaurant is worthwhile
b. give everyone the location
c. extend the social element of the event

Twitter is by no means a replacement for yelp (or anything else), it’s the thin layer of communication on the net that points to the thicker layers.

I wonder how many Twitter users who are writing mini reviews of restaurants know of (or use) more robust sites like http://yelp.com?

Laura,

Twitter put me in direct contact with the BlogWorld Expo 2008 executives. I volunteered my videography services and received a pass to the show in exchange. They were not planning to record video just audio.

I agreed to record 20+ sessions in three days. It was a logistical exercise to break-down and move in 10 minutes to the next room for recording, threading my way through the crowd to gain entry to break-out rooms.

Enjoyed your panel with Robert Scoble and Doc Searles, and the live ‘Tweeting’ during the panels enriched the interactive discussions.

After the marathon panels, dashing between rooms to reset camera, tripod, microphones and DVD-burner, barely got plugged in and another hour of recording began.

I did not mind standing up from 7:00 am ~ 6:00 pm on Friday Saturday and Sunday, as I my eyes were being opened to the massive reach and power of Twitter.

Preparing a massive donation launch next week. Web page under construction. Beneficiaries? KIDS! More to follow..

Respectfully,

Nicholas Chase – ‘the video guy’ at BlogWorld Expo 2008

And if you’re a local restaurant you could use the local feature in search to find people!

Twitter is fairly awesome.
