Spaghetti Restaurants in Downtown Chicago

I was craving some spaghetti tonight, so I did what most 32 year old males do (cough, cough) . . . I asked my Twitter followers to help me out.

Now, first . . . you have to know a thing or two about my twitter followers.

  1. They are the best.
  2. They are the best.
  3. They are the best.

I’ll get into details some time about why they are the best but . . . just know, that they are.

After sending out a Tweet of . . .

Yes, I received 9 responses from people within just a few minutes and 12 responses altogether (with still more flowing in as I type, but I’ve already eaten). I was able to find a place to eat that worked out great for my needs of the night. Who needs a concierge or even a website when you can get personal recommendations from people you ‘know’ within just a few minutes and only 140 characters of effort?

I have the best followers . . . Twitter rocks!

Interesting! What a great use of Twitter. But you never said where you ended up going! Hope the food was good. Spaghetti and meat sauce is the best.
