I’m thrilled to share our newest customer, Visions Restaurant in Bethesda, MD and its social whirlwind of a chef, Tony Marciante.

Guess how we met? Yep. Twitter. I followed Tony, he followed Fanminder, a few direct messages later at 1am and voila! the two of us are gabbing like little schoolgirls over Skype, screen sharing, and recording it all for posterity in Jing.

What a completely new world we live in eh?

So besides being thankful to the Twitter Gods, I’m also thankful for meeting Tony. Tony is an inspiring concoction of top-notch chef, restaurateur, and social media god. And since two of my favorite passions are social media and food (Rita, Tracy, don’t go there!) you can bet Tony and I are fast becoming buddies. I fully expect our two companies to chart new paths for other local, small businesses to blaze with us.

On a more mundane but equally exciting note, Tony is excited to use Fanminder to text specials and other announcements for his restaurant to compliment his other forms of social outreach, cable TV show, and advertising.

Welcome aboard, Tony!
