Fun With Carbs

Mercifully, the Courant copy editors are way more clever than me, and didn’t touch any of those awful puns when they wrote the headline for my latest story. It’s a look at how restaurants, local and national, are embracing social networking to promote business and interact with customers.

Hartford Courant: “Twitter, Facebook Help Restaurants Communicate With Patrons”

It should come as no surprise that I located and contacted all of my story sources for this article through social media platforms. To their credit, most of them responded to me within hours, if not minutes. Any journalist – particularly freelancers – can tell you how rare and refreshing that is!

And for some more exciting news: I am now contributing to the new Hartford Courant/ctnow.com dining blog, A La Carte. I’ll still be blogging here at FWC, of course, but definitely check it out. Food, food, food!
