Over our Dine Out for Life lunch, jseattle and I talked about the various ways to find out information about happenings in Our Fair City (other than reading the fabulous CHS blog, of course).
Twitter is all the rage these days. All the kids are doing it. Love it or hate it, it's out there. I followed a handful of new accounts yesterday when I found that Volunteer Park Cafe, Poppy, and Coastal Kitchen all have Twitter accounts for their restaurants (though Poppy's isn't yet being used). This got me thinking that there are probably many other Capitol Hill-local businesses that I might be interested in but don't know about, and maybe you all know them. Maybe you don't know some of the ones I have. Shall we share?
I tried not to include accounts that are just headline feeds of blog posts. Some of these aren't being used much yet (Poppy, SeattlePD/FD, etc) but might be soon. If I omitted your business it's likely because I forgot or don't know about it, so please, add it in a comment! I'd love to see this as a constantly-updated thread as more and more places use this service.
