Love via Fuzzy Bathrobe

Posted on December 11, 2009 | 4 Comments

Have you ever been rewarded by a company (brand, entertainer, etc.) for being a fan of their product or service? That happened to me today.

A hotel I love sent me an oversized, comfy zebra print bathrobe – the kind you always want to steal but even better – just because I follow them on Twitter and engaged with them.

Note says "Thanks for following us on Twitter. Congratulations!"

In June 2009, I traveled to California for the first time. After a weekend in San Diego, I headed to San Francisco a day early for my business trip just to hang out and explore the city. Continue reading →

Zooming 140 Characters at a Time

Posted on October 16, 2009 | Leave a comment

Just booked my flight for the 140Conference L.A., or #140conf as it’s known on Twitter.

Zooooooooom. Check out more info & background on the event here: http://lax.140conf.com/

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED. I can’t even tell you how amped I am to be there, meet new people, learn from them and push our real-life connections deeper. I know you’re reading me here but this site > click < is my focus. In L.A., I’ll be focused on meeting people who create content around food & booze, or who are doing innovative things with video. and I can’t wait to learn from other people who are running their own businesses and leveraging social media on how to do that better and more consistently.

  • Going to #140conf L.A.? Check out some hotels near the event venue > here < (link courtesy of @PAWeissenstein via @geogeller).
  • If you’re going to L.A. and want to connect, please say hi @EmilysPearl.
  • Not familiar with Twitter yet? Read my post about it here.

See you in L.A.!!!

Twitter: Birds of a Feather Helping One Chick Take Off … Literally

Posted on September 29, 2009 | 18 Comments

I’m a passionate user of the social networking site, Twitter. I’ve been sharing short, personal updates on my life, AKA “tweeting” at @EmilysPearl since March 7, 2007 and on a separate account for work (@ECava) since September 2008.

People frequently ask me why I use Twitter. Because the site limits updates to 140 characters or less, people seem to enter the discussion with the viewpoint that they could get the same mileage out of scanning friends’ Facebook status updates, reading their blogs or shooting them a text message.

I have one recent story that illustrates both the beauty and utility of Twitter in my own life.

In retrospect, sweeties, it was the oysters. You can’t feed me oysters and champagne all night and expect anything less than fireworks.
