twitter sales becomes reality
I was looking for a hotel in London the other day, and tried an experiment: post my search on twitter and see what happens. And there you go:
Just some minutes after my post I got retweetet by @frau_one and about 3 minutes later, @ukseries (service with trips to england, tickets, events etc.) followed me. So far so good - but I was really delightet when @smlGEM sent me an offer for a hotel room in their house about 2h later (sorry, guys: you sure have a wonderful hotel - check them out here - but I just can't afford it). The tweet was very nice, nothing like "cheapest price in town" but with all relevant information:
smlGEM @fredl We still have rooms @ St Martins Lane for the 25th We're located by Covent Garden, w/e theatres and Trafalgar Sq. http://bit.ly/TBEmo
Now this shows the strentgh of interconnectivity and listen to the real time web - I see a huge potential in there - and it seems to be reality, about what I wrote the other day, about selling products on twitter.
