Twitter Philadelphlia

[Holly Moore]

I may be stating what most folks already know. I seem to have that knack.

The past few weeks I have hooked up on Twitter with the major food blogs and some newspaper feeds. There is no better source for what is happening and what is going to happen in Philadelphia food scene. Openings, closings, menus, special events, cupcakes (we're getting a cupcake truck), pies (we're getting a pie bakery). Mike Klein tweets well ahead of his column. Same with Drew Lazer of the City Paper.

Every day there are dozens of relevant and semi-relevant tweets. I'm hooked.

Agreed. I've found out about a lot of events/specials through Twitter. And now I can keep up on Holly as well.

I'm hardly in their league, but I now post weekly RTM updates (I had tried to recruit Bob Libkind, but he passed on it) and other occasional items about specialty grocers and foods in Philly on Examiner.com. Look for me under "Philadelphia Specialty Grocery Examiner" -- and "Philadelphia Public Transportation Examiner" (surprised? ).

I tweet when new items get posted:

Edited to add: Of course, relevant tips always welcome. Tweet me, PM me, email me, IM me -- just get them to me if you can.

I learned to check bloggers and others on Twitter and see who they are following. I can pick and choose from their list and adds the ones I want to follow.
