A lil’ help: What would you like to see in our Twitter feed?

No Comments Uncategorized

We’ve been using Twitter for more than a year, and at first it was something that I set up just because it was new and cool (the service itself is not even 3 years old).  Now that there are so many twitter clients, syndication tools, and a slew of ways to use Twitter to get the word out about some of the things we do and promote, I wanted to ask:

What – other than random musings – do you want to see in our Twitter feed (if anything)?

After a thoughtful question from one of the folks who “following us”, I thought it might be worth putting to a vote.   I know most of our content (beside random musings) is available via our website, RSS feeds, email, etc – but sometimes folks like to receive different information in different ways (or not.)

If you have a few seconds, feel free to answer the question on the polldaddy.  You SHOULD be able to select more than one answer. If not, well – pick the most important! :)

Let’s start with New Year’s greetings – from London. As reported on January 1 in the Savannah Morning News, our very own Savannah Music Festival is making headlines across the globe, having been deemed one of 2009′s best global events by The Times. A London-based paper, The Times circulates nearly 700,000 copies daily in the United Kingdom and beyond.

On December 27, The Times ran an article listing “the best events around the world in 2009.” On that list was the “Return of the Sun Festival” in Norway, the Elephant Festival in India, and various other international jubilees. The Savannah Music Festival – in all it’s noteworthy gloriousness – was the only U.S. event to make the list.

“The Georgian city is one of southern America’s finest, and the festival features a staggering breadth of styles, from string quartets to bluegrass via gospel, fado, Cajun, jazz and more.”
