The power of Twitter …in Boston.
So while I was in Boston, I had some time to kill after I got off my flight before I could check-in. For those of you who follow me you may remember the Twitter message I sent out:
…minutes after I hit the ‘send’ button, both my followers from Boston responded to my message (see their responses below) and other folks who are simply tracking “Boston” responded to my tweet as well! @ChrisBrogan even sent me a direct message 
I knew that the advice of what to do in Boston from real people on Twitter was much better than those silly marketing brochures sitting at the information booth. So thanks to Twitterville’s help — I ended up checking out the view at the Prudential building, went and visited the Apple store (and recorded a video blog on an iMac there) and grabbed a snack at Faneuil Hall. Thanks everyone!

It’s another example of free social media displacing traditional commercial media. See it in action here. [...]
