Twitter, that is.
I have lots of friends that just don’t get it and aren’t on it. And I get that. Twitter often causes more harm than good.
But when it comes to customer service, I stand behind the blue bird.
I have had far more success getting results with a single tweet than with hours on hold or emails that go seemingly into the void.
Cable company gripes? Send a tweet. The response is almost instantaneous.
Pizza delivery subpar? Tweet your dissatisfaction. The corporate account will respond, and you might even get a coupon.
And when something good happens, mention that, too.
When I had a high fever from an ear infection on Labor Day, I was relieved to discover the CVS Minute Clinic was open in my neighborhood, so after my visit, I tweeted a thank you.
Minute Clinic responded, asking how I was feeling — nice! — then sent me a direct message, requesting the address of the clinic I visited and my full name and email address.
I received a $20 gift certificate via email a couple of days later, and I would imagine my local Minute Clinic got some props, too.
Tweets matter!
For the first time today, I realized that people can place pronunciation guides in their Facebook homepage profile.
Inconceivable
I am so over this hashtag and how people throw it around:
Really? Are you really feeling blessed to get a fancy toilet?
Just Iike some folks on Facebook are blessed to find a parking spot or blessed to go out to dinner or blessed to do anything.
In the words of Inigo Montoya, “I do not think this word means what you think it means.”
Don’t wear it out, people…especially not on a toilet.
