That time the Wall Street Journal published an article about my use of Twitter, LOL!
“To prepare for his latest business trip, Hickson Chen went through the usual routine: packed, checked his itinerary, confirmed his flight—and sent his hotel a Twitter message about chicken-fried steak.”
“No, that last one isn’t a mistake. During a recent stay at the Sheraton Austin, Hickson Chen, who uses Twitter for everything from looking for hotel deals to requesting upgrades, discovered a new use for the social-networking Web site. Upon learning that the hotel had axed his favorite steak, the Los Angeles hedge fund employee sent a sad note about the dish’s demise to his Twitter followers. When one of the hotel employees saw the message, a few strings were pulled, and by dinnertime Mr. Chen was tucking into a custom-prepared plate of chicken-fried goodness. Now every time he visits the Sheraton, he sends them a heads-up and they have the steak waiting.”
