More Twitter coffee talk at Caffeinated Conversations
Posted by Melissa Allison
Jason Simon of Mill Creek launched Caffeinated Conversations last spring and posts a new topic of conversation every Monday. Today's is about Twitter, and includes information from my post last week about Starbucks' Twitter master Brad Nelson along with other coffee purveyors' Twitter efforts.
Simon said he became interested in coffee and conversation while studying conflict analysis and resolution at George Mason University, "where I came to believe that conversation (informal and facilitated) help to shape and reshape the world everyday. And coffee often helps to stimulate them."
He has almost 800 followers on Twitter and more than 100 on Flickr.
Simon said he's also working with a few coffee businesses, "helping them leverage social media to connect with current and potential customers, and build community."
