Vancouver-based hotdog stand joins Twitter, scores customers
Thursday, March 12th, 2009
Japa Dog is a hot dog stand located on the corner of Burrard & Pender, in downtown Vancouver.ï?½ Yesterday Japa Dog joined Twitter and, at around 9pm, called for a “tweet meet”:
Japa Dog tweet meet! Meet and eat Japa Dog! Tomorrow 12 Mar at Burrard Pender
It was their fourth-ever Twitter update.
In a stunning display of the local power of Twitter, the Vancouver community began retweeting in earnest. Before we could squeeze out the contents of three packs of relish, Japa Dog gained a sizeable following and folks all over the web began chatting about their fondness for hot dogs.
Once again, Twitter shows how useful it can be for a local business.
Here are links to some images of this afternoon’s Japa Dog Tweet Meet. Here’s hoping there are more to come!
