Columbus places to play, dine and shop on Twitter
By Irene Alvarez, Marketing Project Manager
At Experience Columbus, we’ve been kicking around the idea to compile a list of Twitter accounts that’s limited to places to play, dine and shop in Columbus. We finally decided to put one here .
There are a couple of hat tips in order for similar efforts - Columbus local Cheryl Harrison is growing a more comprehensive all-Columbus Twitter list here , and Alvin Borromeo maintains Columbus Twitter chatter here .
So why work to compile a Twitter list that’s only about playing, dining and shopping? Because quite simply, that’s our bag. That’s why locals and (especially) visitors turn to us. This way they can easily find and connect with the businesses that are specific to, ahem, experiencing Columbus.
Here’s that link to the list again. Are we missing anyone? Are we missing you? Please leave a comment below and if the account represents a place to play, dine or shop we’ll add it. We welcome receiving the organization’s account (for example, @ExpCols) as well as any individual accounts of people who represent the organization (for example, @Irene_ExpCols).
Many thanks and happy connecting.
