Wanted: Followers. Reward: Cheap Booze
May 22nd
UPDATE: Risque didn’t reach 300 followers by the 16th, but they did reach it by Monday the 18th and had $.50 shots of Jack anyways. Cheers to them!
Risque Cafe, a unique Chicago watering hole, is promoting its twitter account with a promotion that wins every time: extremely cheap booze. OK, it’s not exactly free, but if Risque gets 500 followers by Saturday, they will sell shots of Jack Daniels for a quarter. That’s basically free.
The offer
The retweet’s are flying already, and as of 4:40pm on Wednesday, Risque has 126 followers. Will they make it? I’ll keep you updated. Here’s hoping they get 500 followers!

My Side Project- Chicago Tweetups
Nov 26th
I just started a pretty cool side project yesterday. I’m working on creating Chicago Tweetups- a central location for Chicago-area tweetups and related events. I’ve purchased the domain chicagotweetups.com, and will begin working on it hopefully in the next week or so.
The main reason for wanting to start this site is based on personal experiences. Tweetups are announced and often retweeted, but if 25 of your main followers aren’t going or interested or retweeting the event, finding the details can be time consuming and not exactly easy. Chicago Tweetups aims to be a central spot for not just one event, but all upcoming events. The site will include:
- Event name
- Location
- Main organizer
- Venue info
- Maps/directions
- Social links
- Conversations
- Connections
I’ve also created a Facebook group and Twitter account, although don’t expect a whole lot on those pages for a while. I hope to have the site rocking come 2009- fresh and ready for a new year of awesome tweetups!
